US slaps fresh tariffs on China, 50-plus countries in latest wave

The United States imposed new tariffs ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent on 60 countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, India, and European Union member states, citing a Section 301 investigation into forced labor. The tariffs replace a temporary 10 percent blanket levy set to expire, as Washington claims existing measures failed to prevent goods produced with forced labor from entering supply chains.
