Trump’s administration is poised to unleash sweeping new tariffs on sixty countries as existing 10% global duties expire this Friday, with rates expected to climb to 10–12.5%. Leveraging a Section 301 probe into forced labor — not the emergency powers blocked by the Supreme Court — the move aims to shield American industries.
