The Trump administration unveiled a new slate of global tariffs on Thursday, again circumventing the Supreme Court after it struck down President Donald Trump\u2019s sweeping tariff policy earlier this year.<\/p>

Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, said Thursday that the administration would use Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to place new tariffs on 60 countries. The tariffs would range from 10% to 12.5% and target multiple allies. Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom would be subject to a 10% tariff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it\u2019s well past time for our trading partners to do the same,\u201d Greer said in a statement<\/u><\/span>.<\/p>

The administration justified the tariffs by claiming that some of the countries have done too little to prevent the import of goods made with forced labor. Section 301 allows the administration to place tariffs in response to unfair, unjustifiable, or discriminatory foreign trade practices.<\/p>\n
