The Trump administration imposed tariffs of up to 12.5% Friday on goods from 60 U.S. trading partners it accused of failing to crack down on forced labor. The official told reporters the Trump administration views forced labor as a problem not only because of human rights concerns, but also because countries that don't enforce bans on forced labor have an "unfair advantage" over the United States, which does enforce such bans. The Trump administration argues those trading partners have "failed to effectively enforce" their rules. Many goods that comply with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade deal signed during the first Trump administration, are also exempt. The Section 122 tariffs were largely replaced by the new forced labor tariffs, which were issued under another legal authority known as Section 301.
