If Trump really cares about forced labor, he should look at the US – rather than slap more tariffs on the world

Small businesses have filed a lawsuit challenging Donald Trump's new forced labor tariffs, arguing the president is re-imposing duties previously ruled illegal by the US Supreme Court. These levies, which began Friday following a temporary 10% blanket duty, ostensibly punish countries for failing to curb forced labor. However, global officials are pushing back against this rationale, while critics suggest the US should address its own internal issues regarding coerced prisoner labor instead of imposing tariffs.
