US Asian Allies Reject New Forced-Labour Tariffs as Not Credible
The Business Times reports that US Asian allies are pushing back against new forced-labour tariffs imposed by the United States, labeling them as 'not credible.' An expert notes that these new levies are less likely to be overridden by US courts compared to previous measures. The duties are intended to restore former US President Donald Trump's protectionist trade regime after his earlier tariffs were struck down by the US Supreme Court. The article highlights ongoing trade tensions between the US and its Asian allies, with the latter questioning the legitimacy and evidence behind the forced-labour allegations.
