The U.S. is proposing new tariffs of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners after a forced-labor-related trade investigation.

Canada, Mexico, the EU, Taiwan, and the UK would face a 10% tariff. China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Switzerland, and other major economies would face a 12.5% tariff. The tariffs are not immediate. Written comments are due July 6, with public hearings starting July 7, so the final rules could still change before implementation. Source: Wall St Engine
