Thailand among 60 nations. Some 10 percent, some 12.5 percent.

Trump's initial tariffs were ruled illegal, but he threatened to come up with new ways to do the same thing.

This is one of them.

I'm for taking a stand against forced labor, but this is clearly just being used as an excuse for news tariffs.

US Plans to Raise Tariffs by 10% or 12.5% on 60 Economies Including Thailand, Citing Failure to Curb Forced Labor Goods

The US Trade Representative's office has proposed additional import tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on 60 countries and economic zones worldwide, including Thailand. This follows investigations under Section 301 that found many countries failed to prohibit and enforce laws against imports of goods produced by forced labor. The US views allowing such goods into the market as creating unfair competition against American workers and producers.

The US Trade Representative (USTR) announced a decision under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, stating that the actions, policies, and practices of 60 global economic zones failing to effectively prohibit and enforce laws against the importation of forced labor-produced goods constitute "unreasonable" acts that obstruct or restrict US commerce.
