The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imported goods from 60 trading partners, including China, the European Union, and several Arab countries, due to the failure to prohibit the import of products made with forced labor or the weak enforcement of such a ban. The tariffs went into effect despite exemptions for oil, gas, fertilizers, some food products, and metals, as well as automobiles, steel, aluminum, and copper. The move aims to address human rights violations and improve working conditions. It is based on Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act, which allows for the imposition of tariffs on unfair trade practices. The measure has faced criticism from trading partners, who argue that it is unjustified and harms international trade.
