The Trump administration is proposing that tariffs of 10% or more be imposed on products from dozens of major trading partners following a probe into imports of goods allegedly made with forced labor.
The report released early Wednesday by the U.S. Trade Representative said Canada, Mexico, Taiwan and the United Kingdom and some other countries and territories would face 10% additional tariffs for allegedly failing to enforce a forced labor import ban.
A 12.5% additional tariff would be imposed on China, Japan, India, South Korea, Brazil and Switzerland and dozens of other countries.

That’s fucking rich coming from the nation with the world’s largest prison population, where practically unpaid labor is
either mandatory or strongly incentivizedforced.The country that outlawed slave labor, except where prisoners were concerned. What a coincidence.
Canadians are forced to work for their salaries, it’s horrible.
Trump probably considers being paid “forced”. You should be grateful to produce products the United States needs at rates we aren’t willing to pay for. /s
Gulf states?
