U.S. Trade Official Discusses Tariff Effects
U.S. Trade Representative Jemison Gerrer stated that the new tariffs imposed by President Trump on 60 companies and traders due to their failure to implement a workplace slavery ban will not have a significant economic impact. He explained that the tariffs, ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent, are similar to recent customs measures and are imposed under Section 301 on a smaller group of countries compared to previous measures that involved more than 80 nations. These actions come as a response to some countries' failure to effectively combat forced labor practices, with expectations that there will be little effect on the U.S. economy.
