US imposes new tariffs on 60 trading partners as Trump rebuilds trade agenda

The United States said on Thursday (Jul 23) that it would impose new tariffs on 60 trading partners over forced labour concerns, replacing an expiring global duty rolled out by US President Donald Trump earlier this year. The levies, which take effect on Friday, range from 10 per cent to 12.5 per cent and impact major economies like China, India and the European Union. Peter Draper, executive director of the University of Adelaide’s Institute of International Trade, speaks to CNA's Asia First about the potential international response to the new levies.
