What happened
The Trump administration imposed new 10% and 12.5% tariffs on imports from more than 60 trading partners on July 24, replacing temporary global duties that were expiring. The levies rely on Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and cite alleged failures by countries including China and the EU to keep goods made with forced labor out of U.S. supply chains. China, Japan, Australia and U.S. allies objected to the allegations and duties. Small businesses filed two lawsuits challenging the tariffs’ legality.
