Nikkei Asia · Japan · USTR proposes forced-labor tariffs on 60 economies, Trump's post-IEEPA tariff vehicle
Reads the proposal through Asian export exposure, Japan, South Korea and ASEAN on the 12.5% list, and as a deliberate workaround after the Supreme Court stripped Trump's IEEPA tariff authority. Stresses the absence of a statutory ceiling on Section 301.
“US floats new tariffs on 60 economies over forced labor, including China.”
