Trump Slaps New Tariffs on 60 Countries, Including EU and China

The United States on Friday imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China, alleging those countries failed to address unfair trade practices. The move marks a significant escalation in US trade policy, drawing immediate protests from affected nations. Critics warn the tariffs could spark a global trade war, raising costs for consumers and disrupting supply chains. Japan, while not explicitly named in the initial list, may feel ripple effects as key trading partners face higher US duties.
