US Threatens New Tariffs on 60 Trading Partners Over Forced Labor Concerns

The Trump administration is preparing to impose new tariffs targeting 60 trading partners, including Canada, the European Union, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, over their alleged failures to address forced labor. These new duties, expected to range from 10% to 12.5%, would replace existing temporary levies and signal a renewed push by the US to use tariffs as leverage in trade policy, potentially reigniting global trade tensions.
