Trump Imposes New Tariffs on 60 Nations, India Hit With 10% Duty

The Trump administration has imposed new tariffs on imports from 60 economies, citing weak forced‑labour enforcement. Duties are set at 10% or 12.5%, depending on compliance status. India will face the lower 10% rate after recent policy changes. The measures, introduced under Section 301 of the Trade Act (1974), take effect Friday at 12:01 a.m. EDT, replacing the temporary global tariff. The move adds fresh strain to India‑US trade relations, despite earlier progress on reciprocal tariff reductions.
