‘Forced labour’ rationale for Trump tariffs met with bewilderment
Donald Trump replaced a 10% global tariff with new levies ranging from 10% to 12.5% on over 80 countries, including the UK, Mexico, Canada, and China, after the US Supreme Court ruled parts of the original measure illegal. The new tariffs have caused confusion and anger among US allies and trading partners.
