The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs on 80 countries, targeting nearly all US imports over alleged failures to address forced labour in supply chains. Al Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan (@[email protected]) reports.

🚨 BREAKING Verified ✅ Claim: The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs on more than 80 countries, targeting nearly all U.S. imports over alleged failures to address forced labour in global supply chains. Verification: The claim is substantially accurate. The Trump administration imposed new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, citing the failure of trading partners to prohibit and effectively enforce bans on goods produced with forced labour. Officially, the action applies to 60 trading partners covering approximately 99.4% of U.S. imports. Since the European Union is treated as one trading partner while representing 27 member countries, the total number of affected countries exceeds 80. Details: • Tariffs range from 10% to 12.5%. • The measures replace the temporary global tariffs that expired after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Trump's previous emergency tariff regime. • The administration says the policy is intended to pressure trading partners to strengthen enforcement against forced labour in supply chains. • The tariffs cover nearly all U.S. imports, with exemptions for selected products such as certain raw materials and goods already subject to other tariff programs.

@RosJordanAJE What does UN does ?? A person becomes President of USA and imposes tariff without any reason firstly and now finding wierd reasons and nobody can do anything great..

@RosJordanAJE

@RosJordanAJE And now they want to interfere in Brazil's elections.

@RosJordanAJE Supply chains cannot catch a break this decade

@RosJordanAJE Very rich coming from US.

@RosJordanAJE While here in the US, forced inmate labor is used to cut cost for a shit load of companies. They get pennies an hour, so the prisons can push back if it's called slavery. Which in the US is still legal for incarcerated people.

@RosJordanAJE

@RosJordanAJE Creating opportunity to fill his own pockets.

@RosJordanAJE Tariffs on 80 countries because of labor issues is just another way to complicate trade for everyone involved. It’s wild how quickly supply chain politics can turn into a global headache like this one.

@RosJordanAJE Tariff season is officially back in full swing

@RosJordanAJE "A sweeping move that completely reshapes international trade policy overnight."

@RosJordanAJE hitting eighty countries at once is a wild logistical flex

@RosJordanAJE All get together before its to late Isolate

@RosJordanAJE Trump the man

@RosJordanAJE Donald Trump is born for Tariff, his father name is Tariff and his mother name also Tariff. Bloody son of a tariff.

@RosJordanAJE This is going to have a massive ripple effect on global supply chains and consumer prices.
