The United States has imposed new tariffs on 60 trading partners, including the UK, China, the European Union, Canada, Japan, and India, over concerns about forced labor. The duties, ranging from 10% to 12.5%, took effect on Friday.

• Tariffs are imposed on partners "for their failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labour".
• The move is directed by US President Donald Trump and implemented by the Office of the US Trade Representative.
• This is the latest escalation in the global trade war reignited by President Trump, with some partners like Brazil calling the move "unjustified".
