US imposes tariffs on dozens of trade partners over 'forced labour' imports

The US has imposed tariffs on dozens of trade partners, affecting around 60 countries, due to concerns over imports made with forced labour. These tariffs aim to pressure countries into taking stronger action to prevent forced labour practices. The move is part of a broader effort to combat human rights abuses in global supply chains. Countries that fail to address forced labour issues will face continued trade restrictions.
