The Trump administration has proposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries to combat forced labor in global supply chains.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and USTR Jamieson Greer framed the move under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 as a way to bypass previous Supreme Court restrictions.Affected nations include the EU, UK, Canada, Mexico, China, and Japan, though agricultural goods like coffee and beef remain exempted during the upcoming public comment phase.The administration argues these measures are essential to ensuring a level playing field for domestic workers while enforcing stricter international trade standards.
