Trump’s administration is launching sweeping new tariffs on 60 global trade partners starting Friday, targeting forced labor violations with duties between 10% and 12.5%—replacing expiring temporary tariffs. This marks the most aggressive labor rights-focused trade action ever by the U.S., with officials framing it as a tool to protect American workers and boost wages, while avoiding stacking with existing steel and aluminum tariffs. The move, backed by the Trade Act of 1974, signals a return to tariff-heavy trade policy after legal hurdles, aligning with Trump’s long-standing view of tariffs as revenue generators and negotiation leverage—even as critics warn of higher consumer costs.
