Trump’s new tariffs on 60 countries—ranging from 10% to 12.5%—aim to crack down on forced labor, but critics see them as a return to last year’s controversial trade measures, now legally backed by Section 301. Businesses scrambled to stockpile goods before the tariffs hit, fueling shipping surges, while consumers face higher prices amid already strained inflation. International allies dispute the forced labor justification, and domestic trade groups argue tariffs alone won’t solve the problem. Though these levies may boost Treasury revenue after last year’s legal setback, they won’t fully restore lost income.
