President Trump has previously used this same provision to enact tariffs against China for its use of Uyghur forced labor, with those tariffs surviving multiple court challenges. Many parties have criticized the Trump Administration for using this example to expand tariffs across a myriad of countries. The Trump Administration also argued that foreign producers gain an unfair price advantage from forced labor, leaving U.S. workers unable to keep up. In addition, these new tariffs fall closely in line with Trump’s tariff-forward trade policy since the start of his second term. It should never be cheapened into a pretext for a tariff policy built on dubious legal theories and personal grievances.”
