The United States is acting soon on a host of new tariffs targeting dozens of countries, trade envoy Jamieson Greer said Tuesday, with President Donald Trump’s temporary global levy due to expire this week.
The Trump administration has prepared fresh tariffs targeting 60 trading partners over their alleged failures to act against forced labor, as officials push to rebuild the US leader’s trade agenda after legal setbacks.
“The US has laws to prohibit trading goods with forced labor. Other countries, most don’t have a law, those that do don’t really enforce it,” Greer told CNBC on Tuesday.
“We expect to see some action soon,” he added, although saying he could not specify a timeline.
