The Trump administration has proposed new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, the European Union and dozens of other economies after an investigation found shortcomings in how trading partners address goods produced with forced labor.
The proposal, announced by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), would impose a 10% tariff on imports from several major U.S. trading partners, including Canada, Mexico and the European Union, while a higher 12.5% duty would apply to most of the other countries examined in the investigation, Politico reported.
