India, July 24 -- The United States has imposed new import tariffs on its 60 trading partners saying that the governments in those countries have failed to properly tackle forced labor.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced on Thursday that U.S. is imposing a 10 percent or 12.5 percent tariff on 60 trading partners, subject to exemptions for certain products.
Ambassador Greer said he is taking this action at the direction of President Donald Trump, after his Office's Section 301 Investigations into the "Acts, Policies, and Practices of Various Economies Related to the Failure to Impose and Effectively Enforce a Prohibition on the Importation of Goods Produced with Forced Labor."
