Former President Donald Trump has implemented new tariffs on imports from 60 trading partners, citing "forced labor" as justification. These tariffs, enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, are considered to have a stronger legal basis than previous measures that were struck down by the Supreme Court.
