Trump Hits 99% Of Imports From 60 Countries With New Tariffs Over Forced Labour Failures
US President Donald Trump will impose new 10% to 12.5% tariffs on imports from 60 countries from Friday, citing forced labour failures.
The tariffs apply to 99% of US imports, affecting supply chains for electronics, apparel, and food.
The new duties are imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's earlier worldwide 10% tariffs in February 2026.
The Trump administration frames the measure as targeted enforcement tied to labour standards, not blanket protectionism.
The stopgap tariffs expire at the same time the new ones take effect, setting the stage for possible retaliation from affected partners.
