Trump imposes new tariffs on around 60 countries over forced labour
US President Donald Trump imposed new double-digit tariffs of up to 12.5% on imports from around 60 countries, the White House said, citing failures to curb forced labour. The duties replace temporary 10% levies set to expire on Friday, introduced after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's earlier trade measures. Affected partners were not fully listed.
Why it matters
Sweeping new tariffs on dozens of trading partners risk raising import costs and straining relations, while the forced-labour rationale tests global supply chains and trade norms.
