US to hit 60 countries with new tariffs based on forced labour probe

The Trump administration is imposing new tariffs on approximately 60 countries following a forced labour probe. By utilising new legal bases, the US is reinstating duties that the Supreme Court had previously struck down. These measures target dozens of trading partners who allegedly failed to properly stop forced labour. The US government is using these legal mechanisms to ensure compliance and penalise nations that have not adequately addressed forced labour concerns within their trade systems.
