US Threatens New Tariffs on EU and UK Over Forced Labor Enforcement Gaps
The United States is considering new tariffs against key allies, including the European Union and the United Kingdom. This action stems from frustration over what US officials see as inadequate efforts to combat forced labor in supply chains. The potential measures are linked to the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). US Customs and Border Protection has indicated that goods produced with forced labor may be entering the US market through these allied nations. The move could significantly disrupt transatlantic trade and pressure European companies to increase their supply chain diligence.
