Trump impune noi tarife vamale de până la 12,5% pentru 60 de parteneri comerciali, inclusiv UE

The Trump administration will implement new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from 60 countries, citing insufficient measures against forced labor. These tariffs replace a temporary 10% tariff and will take effect on Friday. The U.S. Trade Representative concluded that practices in these countries harm American trade, justifying the tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Certain goods, including oil and natural gas, are exempt, while countries with adequate legislation against forced labor will face lower tariffs. The EU will see varied tariff rates depending on the product.
