Trump's new trade war angers Europe and China
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from 80 countries, including the European Union, in response to allegations of failure to enforce a ban on forced labor. These tariffs cover 99.4% of U.S. imports, with exemptions for products such as oil, gas, fertilizers, and foodstuffs. The move is part of Trump's efforts to strengthen human rights and reduce the trade deficit, despite opposition from Europe, Canada, and several other countries. This step aims to deter unfair trade practices and exploitation of human rights standards, and is seen as potentially less legally vulnerable than previous measures that were struck down by the Supreme Court.
