Trump expands tariff regime over forced-labor concerns
TL;DR
The Trump administration will impose tariffs on goods from roughly 60 trading partners, including the EU, China, Japan and Britain, citing insufficient prohibitions on forced labor; tariffs range from about 10% to 12.5% depending on the country, marking a broad expansion of the U.S. tariff regime after a Section 301 review and a Supreme Court ruling invalidating earlier tariffs.
