U.S. proposes 12.5% tariff on India and other countries, Indian govt says it ‘remains engaged’ with U.S.

The U.S. is proposing a 12.5% tariff on imports from India and 53 other countries due to their alleged failure to ban and enforce restrictions on products made with forced labor. This move comes after investigations into similar practices across 60 countries. The Indian government has responded by stating it's actively engaging with the U.S. to address these concerns. This action underscores the growing global emphasis on labor rights and fair trade practices, potentially impacting international trade dynamics and diplomatic relations.
