What we can confirm

Authoritative government and major media sources report that the US, under the Trump administration, has imposed new tariffs of 10%–12.5% on imports from roughly 60 trading partners, explicitly justified by findings and allegations that these economies failed to impose and effectively enforce prohibitions on the importation of goods produced with forced labor.[1][2][3][4][5][6][9][11][12][13] These actions were taken under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 following USTR investigations into forced-labor-related trade practices and are repeatedly described as duties or tariffs aimed at combating or responding to forced labor in global supply chains.[2][3][4][6][9][10] The number (around 60 partners) and the forced-labor rationale in the claim match these official statements and independent reporting.
