Trade Representative Jamieson Greer emphasized that these measures are necessary to ensure a fair playing field for American workers who operate under strict labor standards.

關稅結構採分級制:38個國家因執法不力面臨12.5%的稅率,17個國家因部分執法面臨10%的稅率,而包括歐盟在內的其餘五個國家,則根據特定產品適用不同的變動稅率。

While this move affects major economies like China, India, and Japan, certain essential imports such as oil, gas, and goods under the USMCA are exempt.

此策略是在先前嘗試擴大關稅卻於今年稍早被最高法院推翻後所採取的措施。

This strategy follows a failed attempt at broader tariffs, which were overturned by the Supreme Court earlier this year.

透過將這些新措施建立在特定的勞動權利準則上,行政當局希望建立更持久的貿易政策,儘管此決定已引起國際夥伴對貿易保護主義及可能違反貿易協定的擔憂與批評。
