The Trump administration proposed Section 301 tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 economies, covering 99% of all U.S. imports, after determining those trading partners failed to enforce bans on goods produced with forced labor. The announcement follows the Supreme Court's February 2026 ruling that struck down the administration's prior IEEPA-based tariffs, raising questions among trade partners and economists about whether the forced labor rationale is a genuine human rights measure or a legal vehicle for reconstructing a broad tariff regime.
