Trump to impose ‘forced labour’ duties as temporary 10% US tariffs expire

New Section 301 duties replace expiring temporary tariff, targeting imports from 60 trading partners while citing forced labour concerns.

The Trump administration on Friday will impose new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union, over allegations of lax enforcement of forced labour bans, just as a temporary 10% global tariff expires.
