The Trump administration has proposed new import duties of 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners
President Donald Trump is moving quickly to rebuild his tariff strategy after the Supreme Court struck down the duties he had globally imposed earlier this year.
The administration has proposed new levies of 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, arguing that many countries have failed to stop imports linked to forced labor.
Under the plan, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom would face 10% tariffs, while China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland would face 12.5% duties. The proposed measures are subject to public review, with hearings scheduled to begin on July 7.
The White House says the tariffs will help protect American workers and replace revenue lost after court rulings blocked earlier tariffs.
To reduce the impact on consumers, the administration plans to exempt products such as food, aircraft parts, rare earth minerals, and many goods covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The proposal has drawn criticism from China and European officials, who argue the forced-labor claims are being used to justify new trade barriers.
