US proposes new tariffs on 60 economies, including Pakistan, over failure to act on forced labour

The US Trade Representative has proposed hefty new tariffs on 60 countries, including Pakistan, accusing them of not doing enough to combat forced labor. This move by the Trump administration aims to revive its tariff strategy after facing legal hurdles. The proposed duties range from 10% to 12.5%, and they'll be open for public feedback before any final decision is made. This initiative highlights the US's commitment to enforcing global labor standards, which could reshape international trade relations and put pressure on these countries to address human rights violations.
