US Imposes 10% Tariff on EU Goods Following Forced Labor Investigation

The US imposed a 10% tariff on EU goods following a Section 301 investigation into the bloc’s enforcement of forced labor bans. The tariff replaces a temporary measure and applies a 10% rate to partners with forced labor bans, including the EU and UK, while others face 12.5%. The European Commission expressed a mixed response, with some alignment to the US-EU Turnberry agreement and criticism from EU diplomatic chief Kaja Kallas.
