The Trump administration unveiled a new slate of global tariffs on Thursday, again circumventing the Supreme Court after it struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff policy earlier this year.
Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, said Thursday that the administration would use Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to place new tariffs on 60 countries. The tariffs would range from 10% to 12.5% and target multiple allies. Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom would be subject to a 10% tariff.
“The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it’s well past time for our trading partners to do the same,” Greer said in a statement.
