The US announced plans to investigate tariffs deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, potentially leading to new tariffs against China, the EU, India, and other countries. The investigation also includes a probe into forced labor practices in over 60 nations, with possible tariffs by summer 2026.
The US has been increasingly active in trade enforcement, especially under recent trade strategies. The investigation into tariffs follows a Supreme Court ruling declaring some tariffs illegal. The 'Section 301' process is used to address unfair trade practices, with recent focus on capacity excess and forced labor issues globally.
