What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The United States announced new tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners, with rates ranging from 10 percent to 12.5 percent. The tariffs were implemented citing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the US president to penalize countries that have failed to curb forced labor in their supply chains. These measures took effect recently.
