US hits 60 countries with new duties as Donald Trump rebuilds tariff wall

The US has imposed new tariffs on 60 countries, marking a significant escalation in trade tensions under the Trump administration. These measures are justified by a probe into forced labor practices, following the Supreme Court's decision to strike down previous blanket tariffs. This move signals a renewed focus on using tariffs as a tool for addressing geopolitical and labor concerns, raising questions about the future of international trade relations and the impact on global supply chains. For those keeping tabs on international trade dynamics, this shift underscores the administration's broader strategy to leverage tariffs for both economic and political leverage.
