Washington is exploring the possibility of imposing tariffs on imports from 60 countries that use forced labor. Among them are Russia, Canada and China
The administration of US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, June 2, proposed introducing additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 countries that, in its opinion, cannot restrict trade in goods produced using forced labor. Among them are the UK, Switzerland, Russia, Canada and China, according to a press release published by the US Trade Representative. This proposal was the result of a Section 301 unfair trade practices investigation.
