Trump imposes new tariffs on over 80 countries to replace expired global duties
The administration set duties between 10% and 12.5% on imports from major trading partners. These newly implemented tariffs replace a previous 10% blanket duty that the Supreme Court ruled illegal. The new duties apply to countries including Canada, Mexico, and members of the European Union. The administration cited failures to police forced labor as the primary justification. However, the move has met with bewilderment from international observers. The policy shift targets approximately 60 to 80 trading partners. Trump established these forced labor duties immediately following the expiration of the previous temporary global tariff. Analysts noted that the latest escalation in the trade war coincided with a surge in global oil prices.
