US Expands Tariffs on Dozens of Trading Partners. The United States imposed new tariffs on sixty trading partners, citing failures to effectively prevent forced labour imports. The new duties range from 10% to 12.5%, affecting major economies including China, the European Union, Japan, and Canada. US officials said countries enforcing stronger forced labour import bans will face lower tariffs than non-compliant trading partners. The measures cover nearly all American imports and mark another major escalation in President Donald Trump's trade agenda. Officials argued the tariffs protect workers while combating unfair trade practices linked to products allegedly made with forced labour. Several countries, including Brazil, Japan, Australia, and China, criticized the decision and rejected Washington's latest trade measures. Trade experts warned the tariffs could increase costs for businesses and consumers while encouraging countries to diversify export markets. The Trump administration signaled additional tariffs remain possible as investigations into other major trading partners continue worldwide.
