U.S. Proposes New Tariffs on Imports from 60 Countries Over Forced Labor Violations

Tariffs of 10% will be applied to Canada, Mexico, and the UK, while 12.5% will target China, Japan, and India, among others, due to forced labor violations.
The tariffs are subject to public comment and review before taking effect, following a recent investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer emphasized the need for trading partners to address forced labor to ensure fair competition for American workers.
