Trump’s New Tariffs Target Forced Labor | San Francisco News
Description
Trump’s new tariffs target 60 countries with 10–12.5% taxes, leveraging Section 301 to bypass expired temporary levies and pressure nations on forced labor — a move praised by some for accountability but questioned by rights advocates for motives. Meanwhile, 16 other nations face scrutiny for flooding markets, with oil, gas, and USMCA goods exempted. Costs fall on U.S. importers, often passed to consumers amid already high prices — a risky gamble ahead of elections.
