BHP sees rising uncertainty for miners on trade as Trump returns

BHP Group, the world’s biggest miner, expects increasing uncertainty in the near term as US President-elect Donald Trump prepares to implement a slew of tariffs and other trade measures. “In the near term, there is going to be a degree of uncertainty related to trade flows, tariffs, industrial policy,” BHP CEO Mike Henry said in a Bloomberg TV interview. That is “something that we keep a very close eye on specifically in respect to the incoming administration.”
