Pakistan among countries hit with Trump\'s new 10% US forced labour tariff

The Trump administration on Friday imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including Pakistan, the European Union and China, over allegations of lax enforcement of forced labour bans, just as a temporary 10% global tariff expired. The move is the White House’s latest effort to restore President Donald Trump’s campaign vision of a near-global tariff after the U.S. Supreme Court in February struck down his “reciprocal” duties of 10% to 50% imposed last year under a national emergencies law to try to shrink the U.S. trade deficit.
