The USTR proposed the new tariffs on June 3, 2026, under Section 301 of U.S. trade law.
Roughly 60 economies are targeted, including Canada, Mexico, China, and the European Union.
Proposed rates begin at a minimum of 10%, with some countries facing rates up to 12.5%.
The stated justification is inadequate enforcement of forced labor prohibitions by trading partners.
The proposal is not a final rule and is subject to further administrative process before implementation.
