The Trump administration is set to impose new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners beginning Friday as a temporary global tariff expires.
The move comes after the Supreme Court in February struck down President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs of 10% to 50% that were imposed last year.
In response, Trump implemented a temporary 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 that expires at 12:01 a.m.
ET Friday.
The Office of the U.S.
Trade Representative announced Thursday that the new tariffs, imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, will take effect immediately after the temporary duties expire.
Canada, Mexico, India and the United Kingdom are among the trading partners that will face a 10% tariff.
Taiwan and the European Union, meanwhile, are slated to face a 12.5% tariff.
"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 said in a news release.
A senior administration official told Reuters the new tariffs are not intended to replace the expiring global duties despite taking effect at the same time.
The official argued that the United States enforces bans on goods made with forced labor more aggressively than any other country, putting American businesses at a competitive disadvantage.
Many products will be exempt from the tariffs, including oil and gas, fertilizer, certain food products and goods already subject to Section 232 national security tariffs, including automobiles, steel, aluminum and copper.
The announcement follows a series of new trade actions unveiled by the Trump administration this week.
On Tuesday, Trump announced imported generic drugs would remain tariff-free for two years before facing steep new duties, saying the move is intended to encourage pharmaceutical companies to manufacture more medicines in the United States.
On Monday, Trump also announced a 50% tariff on certain Canadian imports, citing what officials described as trade "discrimination" against American businesses.
Those duties are scheduled to take effect Aug. 19 under the Tariff Act of 1930 and apply to a range of Canadian imports, including certain food products, apparel, synthetic materials and industrial goods.
