US unveils new tariffs on 60 partners
Donald Trump
The United States said that it would impose new tariffs on 60 trading partners over forced labor concerns, replacing an expiring global duty rolled out by President Donald Trump earlier this year.
The levies, effective on July 24, range from 10 percent to 12.5 percent and impact major economies like China, India, and the European Union.
"The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century and rigorously enforces it; it's well past time for our trading partners to do the same," said U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
