WASHINGTON: The United States is set to impose new tariffs that could hit dozens of countries soon, trade envoy Jamieson Greer signalled Tuesday, with President Donald Trump’s temporary global levies due to expire this week.
The Trump administration has prepared fresh tariffs targeting 60 trading partners over their alleged failures to act against forced labour, as officials push to rebuild the US leader’s trade agenda after legal setbacks.
“We expect to see some action soon,” Greer told CNBC when asked if new duties were incoming. He did not specify a timeline.
While Trump imposed a 10 per cent global duty this year after a swath of his tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court in February, this levy expires Friday.
