US imposes tariffs on 80+ nations
The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of approximately 10% to 12.5% on goods from over 80 countries, effective immediately, as part of its protectionist trade policy. The tariffs, enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, target countries that do not enforce laws against forcing labor in imports, though critics argue they are used mainly to advance broader economic goals. This move follows legal challenges and previous efforts to reshape U.S. trade policy through various laws, despite court rulings limiting presidential authority over tariffs.
