President Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from 60 countries accused of failing to curb forced labor are unlikely to effectively combat modern slavery and may even exacerbate the issue, according to experts and human rights groups.

The Trump administration announced new tariffs on imports from 60 countries, including China, India, Britain, and Japan, alleging insufficient prohibitions on forced labor, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from affected nations.

The U.S. administration proposed imposing additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies, including the European Union and the United Kingdom, citing failures to prevent trade in goods made with forced labor.

The Trump administration unveiled proposed tariffs of 10% or more on dozens of countries accused of failing to crack down on forced labor, targeting major trading partners as part of its global tariff strategy.

Experts and human rights groups argue that President Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from countries accused of failing to combat forced labor are unlikely to effectively address modern slavery and may worsen the situation.
