US widens forced-labor crackdown with tariffs on about 60 partners
TL;DR Summary
The US is slapping 10% to 12.5% tariffs on roughly 60 trading partners—covering about 99.4% of imports—after determining many nations do not adequately prohibit or enforce bans on goods produced with forced labor; nations with enforceable bans face 10%, others 12.5%; the move, using Section 301 and related powers, marks another step in the Trump-era tariff strategy amid a contentious global trade environment and potential legal or retaliation pushes.
