Trump Administration Imposes Tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on 60 Countries: What You Need to Know
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump announced new tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries, covering 99% of foreign products entering the U.S. The administration justified this action by stating that these countries have not sufficiently banned goods produced through forced labor. The tariffs will take effect as temporary 10% tariffs expire, and the U.S. will invoke Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose tariffs on countries with 'unjustifiable' trade practices. Exemptions include oil, gas, and products qualifying under the USMCA. Countries like Brazil and Chile have criticized the decision, while Canada plans to continue collaboration to prevent forced labor goods from entering the supply chain.
