President Donald Trump is reimposing significant tariffs on approximately 60 countries, citing inadequate enforcement of bans on goods produced by forced labor. These new tariffs, ranging from 10% to 12.5%, are being implemented under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated previous tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The move aims to pressure trading partners to strengthen their own forced labor import regulations and is expected to impact a large portion of U.S. imports, though some products like oil and gas are exempted.
