The US has announced new import tariffs on products from sixty countries, including members of the European Union, Canada, and the United Kingdom. These tariffs, ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent, substitute temporary measures that expired on July 24th. The move follows a Supreme Court decision rejecting former President Trump’s country-specific tariffs as unlawful. The administration, citing concerns over unfair trade practices, is utilizing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. A key justification for the tariffs is alleged insufficient enforcement of forced labor prohibitions in these countries, with the US claiming a long-standing commitment to preventing imports made with forced labor. Specific products affected from the EU have not yet been disclosed, but the 60 countries account for 99.4% of US imports. The tariffs are the result of months-long investigations into overproduction and labor practices.
