Trump's New Tariff Move Targets Forced Labor in Global Trade

The Trump administration is preparing to take another major step in its effort to reshape global trade, with a new policy expected to affect dozens of America’s trading partners.

Administration officials say the move is designed to accomplish more than simply collect revenue, arguing it addresses an issue they believe has put American workers at a disadvantage for decades.

The Trump administration is launching a new round of tariffs targeting imports from countries that have not adopted laws banning goods made with forced labor, expanding the president’s trade agenda while tying U.S. tariff policy to international labor standards.
