Trump Defends Forced Labour Tariffs, Cites Economic Benefits and Investments
US President Donald Trump defended recent tariffs on goods linked to forced labour, stating they will not harm the US economy but instead attract hundreds of billions of dollars in investment. He explained these tariffs serve as an alternative after the Supreme Court struck down earlier levies under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Trump cited benefits to major industries and company investments, including moves by General Motors and Toyota, as evidence of the tariffs' positive economic impact.
