China, EU slam proposed US tariffs, reject forced labour allegations
The Trump administration has proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5% on imports from China and 59 other countries. This action is based on findings that these nations have not adequately restricted goods produced with forced labor, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Both China and the European Union have criticized the US findings, calling them politically motivated and absurd, respectively, and asserting their own robust regulations against forced labor products.
