Trump’s New Tariffs Target Forced Labor | San Jose News
Description
Trump’s new tariffs target 60 countries with 10% to 12.5% duties, targeting forced labor violations under Section 301 — the same tool used against China — as temporary tariffs expire. While aimed at human rights enforcement, the move risks fueling inflation ahead of midterms. Some nations, like India, are already seeing tariff cuts for compliance, while others face scrutiny for overproduction. Exemptions include energy goods and NAFTA items. Though critics question motives, the pressure is already reshaping global trade policies — especially as the EU prepares similar regulations.
