rank | Thu Jul 23 23:31:23 The Trump administration on Thursday finalized new double-digit tariffs on dozens of U.S. trading partners as it seeks to reconstitute sweeping duties struck down by the Supreme Court in February. The new duties, which range from 10 to 12.5 percent, follow a five-month investigation into trading partners’ efforts to root out products made with forced labor from their supply chains and are set to take effect just as a temporary global 10 percent tariff expires. “Today’s action is the most sweeping international labor rights action the United States has ever taken — that any country has ever taken,” said a senior administration official, granted anonymity to preview the new tariffs. “It encourages stronger labor rights enforcement abroad, it will restore fairness in the global market for American workers, and it incentivizes our trading partners to join the United States in eliminating forced labor from global supply chains.” https://ww...s-dozens-of-countries-01010228 |
