US Plans New Tariffs on Dozens of Countries as Current Global Levy Expires
The Trump administration plans to impose new tariffs on around 60 countries as the current 10 percent global import levy expires on July 24. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer cited concerns over inadequate enforcement of forced labor laws abroad as a key reason. The new tariffs, potentially ranging from 10 to 12.5 percent, aim to address unfair trade practices and may vary by country. Greer emphasized the need to brief Congress before announcing details, while the move could heighten trade tensions with major partners like the EU, China, and Canada.
