The United States imposed tariffs on 60 trading partners of 10% and 12.5% following a Section 301 investigation into forced-labor imports, applying the lower rate reserved for countries with forced-labor bans to the European Union, Reuters reported on July 24. The EU duties do not stack on most-favored-nation tariffs and restore tariff exemptions for some goods, and the European Commission said the outcome aligns with U.S. commitments under the July 2025 tariff framework agreement.
