US President Donald Trump imposed forced labor duties on 60 trading partners. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The decision came as 10% American tariffs expired. The new duties are introduced as a measure against forced labor. The Trump administration stated that these measures are necessary to protect American workers and ensure fair trade.
According to Reuters, the new duties apply to 60 countries. The specific list of these countries has not yet been published, but experts believe it may include China, India, and other developing nations.
This step is a continuation of Trump's "America First" policy. The US president has previously imposed trade restrictions on several countries.
The economic impact of the new duties remains unclear. Some experts warn that these measures could escalate tensions in international trade.
