US Considers New Tariffs Against EU and UK Over Inaction on Forced Labor
The United States is contemplating new tariffs against the European Union and the UK, citing a lack of sufficient action on forced labor in supply chains. US officials are concerned that goods produced with forced labor, banned from the US under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), are being diverted to European and other markets. This potential action aims to pressure allies into adopting stricter import controls similar to America's. The move threatens to create new trade frictions and could significantly impact global logistics and air cargo flows.
