U.S. plans 10% additional tariffs on Canadian imports after forced-labour probe into 60 countries

The Trump administration proposed additional duties of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies after finding they failed to curb trade in goods made with forced labour. The move points to tighter U.S. trade enforcement and higher import costs, with potential supply-chain disruptions across affected economies. It is a sector- and policy-relevant development that could pressure importers and trade-sensitive industries.
