Peru is preparing to defend its exports against potential new tariffs from the United States. The Peruvian government is seeking legislative powers to implement a series of trade measures, including a ban on the import of goods produced with forced labor. Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Rogers Valencia, announced the proposal will be evaluated by the Council of Ministers this Wednesday. These measures aim to bolster the competitiveness of Peruvian exports in the face of a changing global trade environment. The government hopes to proactively address potential trade barriers imposed by the U.S. The proposed legislation signals a commitment to ethical sourcing and reinforces Peru’s trade position. This move demonstrates a focus on protecting Peruvian businesses and maintaining access to key markets.
