Washington plans new tariffs on 60 countries over forced labor

Reports indicate that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 countries, including the European Union, Canada, and China, alleging their failure to enforce laws banning forced labor-produced goods. These measures follow American investigations into forced labor, aiming to curb smuggling and achieve a more balanced trade environment. The countries involved include Canada, Ecuador, the European Union, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan. The plan recommends imposing tariffs on some of these nations to promote human rights standards within supply chains.
