Trump tariffs: US unveils new duties on 60 trading partners over forced labour concerns
The US has slapped a fresh round of tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners including the EU and China, alleging that they have failed to keep forced labour out of their supply chains. The new duties range from 10 to 12.5-per cent and will replace the temporary 10 per cent global tariff which expired on Jul 24. Jagruti Dave reports from Washington DC.
