Trump's New Tariffs Target 60 Trading Partners Including China
The United States has enacted tariffs reaching 12.5 percent on 60 trading partners, China included, following President Donald Trump's shift in strategy for his international trade conflict. These new levies, associated with forced labor, take the place of a temporary 10 percent global tariff that lapsed on Friday. The earlier 10 percent tax was introduced after the US Supreme Court invalidated previous tariffs implemented by Trump. The newly established taxes, affecting imports from over 80 nations, are likely to endure legal scrutiny.
