US tariff hikes linked to claims of foreign labor dismay and anger trading partners

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on 60 countries over allegations of failing to enforce forced labor bans, sparking objections from Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea. These nations called the tariffs 'unjustified' and criticized the lack of evidence supporting the labor claims.
