Episode Details

The U.S. slams over sixty countries with new double-digit tariffs, claiming they fail to stop forced labor goods — but critics call the move arbitrary, especially since nations like Norway and Switzerland are hit alongside less scrutinized regimes. The administration cites a 1974 trade law, withholding evidence and keeping negotiations secret, while targeted countries like Brazil and Australia slam the policy as politically motivated. American industries also complain about exemptions hurting domestic producers. Meanwhile, experts point out lingering loopholes in U.S. law that still let forced-labor goods slip through — even as new bans target Xinjiang cotton, fishing, and palm oil imports. No quick fixes in sight.
