"The US proposed 10-12.5% tariffs on imports from 60 countries citing forced labour concerns. Experts and human rights groups warn the tariffs may be counterproductive. The EU rejected the assertion, noting its own comprehensive regulations. Critics argue the move is driven by trade politics rather than human rights."
Author: Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis
