Peru plans to send a delegation to meet with US officials after the Trump administration announced plans to impose tariffs on copper, which may affect the South American country's biggest export product. “The rules of the game are rapidly changing under the new North American government,” the country's energy and mining minister Montero told reporters on Monday. Peru is seeking “to avoid being harmed by certain restrictive measures imposed in the interests of the United States.” Montero did not discuss other Peruvian products that may be affected by US tariffs, such as blueberries and fresh grapes. Montero said, “Peru is a good strategic ally of the US on commercial issues, but not only for the US.” “Peru is a non-aligned country, open to investment and commerce for all. We're not committed to a specific geopolitical vision.”
