Tariffs Target Forced Labor Globally | Charleston News
Description
The U.S. just slapped new tariffs on imports from sixty countries—covering 99% of American imports—aimed squarely at curbing forced labor, with rates between 10% and 12.5%. This move, legally grounded in a fresh investigation and separate from a previous Supreme Court-axed policy, is facing global pushback while quietly reshaping consumer wallets. Families are already paying over $1,700 more since the president took office, and public opinion has sharply turned: opposition to tariffs now stands at 63%, up from 50% just months ago. With more investigations looming—including one targeting the EU—this trade war is far from over.
