North AmericaBusinessHigh confidence — 91/100
The US is imposing new tariffs on around 60 trading partners accounting for the vast majority of its imports over claims they failed to properly stop forced labour.
The duties, ranging from 10% to 12.5%, target key economic partners – including the UK, China, EU, Canada, Japan and India.
They come in on Friday, as a temporary 10% tax on foreign goods introduced earlier this year expires.
