US eyes 10% tariffs on Canada and EU over forced-labor findings
TL;DR
The Trump administration proposed a 10% tariff on top trading partners including Canada and the European Union after a USTR probe found weak enforcement against goods made with forced labor; a 12.5% duty is planned for dozens of other countries with signed commitments, while the United Kingdom is noted for having a partial regime to prevent forced labor. The plan is part of a broader Section 301 review to reimpose tariffs, with written comments due by July 6 and public hearings on July 7.
