US hits dozens of trading partners with new wave of tariffs

The US has imposed new tariffs on dozens of its trading partners, citing concerns over forced labor. These levies replace a temporary global duty that was introduced after the US Supreme Court struck down existing tariffs in February. The move is seen as a significant development in the country's trade policy, with the new tariffs targeting a wide range of countries. The US is using the tariffs to pressure its trading partners to address forced labor concerns.
