Trump Aims New Tariffs at 59 Countries and the European Union

Trump officials have announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 12.5 percent on countries that do not adequately address the issue of forced labor in their manufacturing sectors. The tariffs will target 59 countries and the European Union, aiming to pressure them into taking stronger action against forced labor practices. Countries that fail to crack down on goods made with forced labor will be subject to the levies. The move is intended to hold countries accountable for labor practices and promote fair trade.
