Episode Details

Trump’s administration is launching new tariffs on 60 trading partners starting Friday, including the EU, with rates of 10% and 12.5% based on how strictly they enforce forced labor bans — a move timed to replace an expiring 10% global tariff. Framed as a response to bipartisan pressure to clean up supply chains, the tariffs aim to level the playing field by penalizing countries with weaker labor laws. Exemptions cover oil, gas, food, national security items, and USMCA-compliant goods. Final rates hinge on each country’s enforcement record — with stronger laws earning the lower tariff.
