The Trump administration proposed new tariffs on imports from 60 countries and regions over allegations of forced labor, according to corroborated reports. The U.S. Trade Representative stated that these economies failed to curb or prohibit the importation of goods made with forced labor. China and the European Union are among the targeted countries. According to one report, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom would face 10 percent tariffs, while China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Switzerland would face 12.5 percent tariffs. China and the EU have criticized and rejected the forced labor allegations used to justify the proposed tariffs. One outlet reported that the tariffs are based on an investigation under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that trading partners failed to address forced labor in imports, creating an unfair competitive environment for American workers.
