Trump Proposes Tariffs on 60 Countries, Including UK and Canada, Over Forced Labour Concerns

3 Haziran 2026The Guardian
  • Donald Trump has proposed tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 countries, including the UK, EU, and Australia, citing failures related to forced labour. This move is part of his ongoing efforts to reinstate his trade policies.
  • The EU has responded by emphasizing the need for the US to adhere to a previous tariff agreement made last July, claiming that these new tariffs violate the spirit of that deal.
  • The proposed tariffs come at a time when the US is scrutinizing international trade practices, particularly concerning human rights violations. The EU's response highlights the delicate balance between enforcing trade policies and maintaining cooperative international relations.
  • Trump's proposed tariffs reflect a continuation of his administration's aggressive trade stance, particularly regarding human rights issues like forced labour. However, the backlash from the EU indicates potential diplomatic tensions and challenges in maintaining international trade agreements.
