On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump (Donald Trump) announced that with effect from June 10, he would impose a 5 per cent tariff on all imports from Mexico. He also said that if Mexico does not make significant progress in preventing illegal immigrants from entering the United States, tariffs on all Mexican imports will rise to 25 percent on October 1 this year. In response to the tariff increase resolution, Republicans in the US Congress are said to have begun to discuss whether to take some action against Trump's recent protectionist threat. Because it could threaten the relationship between the United States, Mexico and Canada.

SMM6, April 4: according to foreign media reports, US President Donald Trump (Donald Trump) announced on Tuesday that he would impose a 5 per cent tariff on all goods imported from Mexico starting from June 10. He also said that if Mexico does not make significant progress in preventing illegal immigrants from entering the United States, tariffs on all Mexican imports will rise to 25 percent on October 1 this year.

In response to the tariff increase resolution, Republicans in the US Congress are said to have begun to discuss whether to take some action against Trump's recent protectionist threat. Because it could threaten a new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada.

John Thune, the Senate majority whip, says many lawmakers are concerned about the future direction of the tariff decision.

Republicans are now considering publicly condemning Trump in the form of opposition to the resolution, the Washington Post reported.

In March, the House of Representatives passed a resolution to prevent President Trump from declaring a "state of emergency" along the border between the United States and Mexico, but did not have enough Republican support at the time.

But now that things have changed, there may be enough Republicans against it so that they can have a majority.

Codelco Investigates Possible Duplicate Production Accounting at Ministro Hales and Salvador
Codelco said on October 6 that it is investigating possible duplicate accounting of production at its Ministro Hales and Salvador divisions during 2024 and 2025. Based on preliminary information, the same material may have been recorded as production by more than one division, potentially inflating the company’s reported production and inventory figures. Codelco has referred the findings to Chile’s Public Prosecutor’s Office and commissioned EY to conduct an independent external audit into the case. KPMG will continue its broader review of Codelco’s production reports for 2024–2025. An earlier internal audit found that material still requiring further processing had been reported as finished copper production at Chuquicamata and Ministro Hales in 2025, involving approximately 26,875 tonnes of copper. The company subsequently dismissed one executive and imposed disciplinary measures on other employees. The latest investigation could further affect market assessments of Codelco’s historical production data, but no revision to reported output has been confirmed. Codelco has also abolished the vice-president position responsible for the joint Andina–Los Bronces operating plan and appointed Claudia Monreal López to lead a new coordination team from October 27.
