United States Imposes New Tariffs on 60 Trading Partners Over Forced Labor Allegations

On July 24, 2026, the United States imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China. The Trump administration justified these tariffs by alleging that the countries failed to curb imports made by forced labor, a claim disputed by the affected nations. This move, which covers nearly all U.S. imports, is seen as an effort to rebuild a global tariff wall and is expected to generate protests and potentially impact international trade dynamics and supply chains.
