The Trump administration has set tariffs, averaging about 10% to 12.5%, on over 80 countries.

The tariffs are related to the import of goods made by forced labor, according to a New York Times report.

The news comes on the heels of a global 10% tariff, set in February, that expired at midnight today.

The latest tariffs illustrate the White House's aim to dramatically alter global trade and is the latest tariff policy strategy that kicked off in January 2025.

The latest tariffs were issued under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to impose tariffs on foreign countries that engage in unreasonable or discriminatory trade practices.

Earlier this week, on July 20, the administration enacted a 10% tariffs on Canada.

More tariffs are ahead as the administration has proposed another batch of tariffs, also using Section 301, on 15 countries and the European Union to offset what the White House describes as unfair practices in manufacturing sectors.

"The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it's well past time for our trading partners to do the same," U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told AP News.
