President Trump will impose new double-digit tariffs on imports from 60 countries over forced labor violations, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced on Thursday. The action applies to Washington’s top trading partners and will cover 99.4 percent of U.S. imports, according to a released fact sheet.
The newly announced measures replace an expiring global duty previously implemented by President Donald Trump. The administration cited ongoing forced labor concerns as the primary justification for levying the tariffs on the 60 affected nations.
