Donald Trump Imposes New Tariffs on Dozens of Countries in Latest Trade Move

The Trump administration has finalized new tariffs on dozens of US trading partners, ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent, ahead of the expiration of a current 10 percent global duty on Friday. The move follows a five-month investigation into efforts to eliminate products made with forced labor from supply chains. A senior administration official described the action as the "most sweeping international labor rights action" ever taken, aiming to encourage stronger labor rights enforcement abroad and restore fairness in the global market for American workers. The new duties are set to take effect as a temporary global 10 percent tariff expires, and are intended to incentivize trading partners to join the US in eliminating forced labor from global supply chains.
