The Trump administration has proposed additional tariffs of 10% or more on products from dozens of major trading partners, citing failure to enforce forced labor import bans. - Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, and the UK face 10% tariffs; China, Japan, India, and others face 5% tariffs.
- The investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 found 60 countries failed to enforce forced labor import prohibitions. - China denies forced labor allegations and calls for dialogue, while the EU recently approved a tariff deal with the U.S.
- The proposed tariffs are subject to public comment and hearings beginning July 7. The move is likely to further strain trade relations with key partners already affected by previous tariff waves.
