As expected, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has completed the Section 301 review of “forced labor practices” in manufacturing and trade. [USTR Announcement Here]
As a result of the findings, a tariff rate of 10% to 12.5% is being added to the goods from a host of countries evaluated. These 301 duties are in addition to currently existing tariff rates. [FACT SHEET] Trading partners that have made commitments to adopt, and effectively enforce, forced labor import prohibitions will have a 10% tariff, and trading partners that have failed to adopt a forced labor import prohibition will have a 12.5% tariff rate.
• The following 54 economies have failed to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor:
Algeria; Angola; Argentina; Australia; the Bahamas; Bahrain; Bangladesh; Brazil; Cambodia; Chile; China, People’s Republic of; Colombia; Costa Rica; Dominican Republic; Egypt; El Salvador; Guatemala; Guyana; Honduras; Hong Kong, China; India; Iraq; Israel; Japan; Jordan; Kazakhstan; Kuwait; Libya; Malaysia; Morocco; New Zealand; Nicaragua; Nigeria; Norway; Oman; Peru; the Philippines; Qatar; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Singapore; South Africa; South Korea; Sri Lanka; Switzerland; Taiwan; Thailand; Trinidad and Tobago; Türkiye; United Arab Emirates; United Kingdom; Uruguay; Venezuela; and Vietnam.
• The following six economies have failed to effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor:
Canada, Ecuador, the European Union, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan.
After consideration for current Free Trade Agreement parameters and Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) reciprocity internals, the basic outcome is this:
- 10 percent is the appropriate rate of Section 301 duties for investigated economies that (i) impose a forced labor import prohibition; (ii) have committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade; or (iii) have imposed a partial regime with the effect of preventing the importation of certain forced labor goods. These economies are: Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom;
- 10 percent or 12.5 percent, net of Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate is the appropriate rate of Section 301 duties for certain products of the European Union, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Switzerland that are not otherwise exempted, as explained in greater detail in the Federal Register Notice; and
- 12.5 percent is the appropriate rate of Section 301 duty for all other investigated economies.

Row well and live #41.
I see that Canada does _not_ have the good sense to not strike back…
HE DID. GOOD FILM.
👆💪
Lord, we are going to miss PDJT when he leaves office. I doubt there will ever be another like him.
I don’t even want to think about it!
First we have to have a secure election, I think that means President Trump after doing everything in his power to get the US Senate to follow the will of We The People needs to declare a our November election a National Emergency and give elections back to the people via small neighborhood polling places with the responsibility for the election from start to finish entirely the responsibility of the residents of the small neighborhood polling place boundaries. And every other precaution we all know by heart.
Then after the first honest election in God knows how long and we have put the fear of God into the hearts of every politician beg President Trump to accept a third term.
Depends in the demographics and politics of the small neighborhood
A true free and fair election should mean that every citizen can vote their own mind and be counted and that is all that is counter. If the citizens in a neighborhood vote blue, so be it. I suspect that a real election would show just how few Americans are blue in reality.
Fourth Term.
Let’s pray that PDJT will be the next president. PDJT28!
100% my view. Well stated
Absolutely!
Unless it’s one of his kids.
No
KingsDynasties.Keeping in line with the post’s subject matter, put the “forced labor practices” shoe on the other foot. How would it be if Obama actually did have a son?
The subject of term limits takes on a whole new light(bringer) when a political office becomes generational. The Bush and Kennedy clans come to mind.
You’re arguing for a sane world. We are not living in a sane world. Trump or death.
Trayvon Martin………
A *Benevolent* ‘dynasty’ would be entirely different from a malevolent dynasty…
Benevolence in leadership is what US needs and I don’t care how we get it –
if by a ‘dynasty’ its 100% OK with me.
Benevolent leadership is what matters… not anybody’s last name.
None of his kids are like him. Maybe Barron… 30 years from now.
So, tell me someone better. I am sick of politicians
It’s OUR fault. Unless and until we as a nation GENUINELY turn back to God, do not expect anything different.
Start with something simple: No unnecessary Sunday shopping. Big box stores don’t need to be open on Sundays!
Wow do you genuinely believe that God is interested in tariff proposals?
I had this discussion with one of my sons recently. There is more in the bible about money and how it should be handled than almost any other subject. Money has a major impact on each of us and God cares so much about us that he sent his son to suffer and die to redeem us. Anything that affects his children the way money can has his complete attention.
I know my life changed when I started tithing and offering first fruits every year. We can (or not) get into theological debates about whether those are still requirements of the faith, but my point is the biblical principles for money are valid and work today. God cares enough to give us the instruction manual for life.
To Mona, if you wonder whether God cares about tariffs, ask Him!
tariffs to punish slavers? YES!
Is. 61:1-2
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
because the Lord has chosen me.
He has commissioned me to encourage the poor,
to help the brokenhearted,
to decree the release of captives,
and the freeing of prisoners,
to announce the year when the Lord will show his favor,
the day when our God will seek vengeance,
to console all who mourn…
‘ And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” ‘ (Luke 12:15)
The shoes highlight narcissistic covetousness and facade replacing substance in America.
Its not just flashy overpriced shoes of “the right brand” as a status symbol. Its all the clothes, the stylized passenger vehicles with unnecessary bells and whistles, the earpods and jewelry and sunglasses and hairstyles as hubristic fashion statements, the obsessions with perfect lawns and landscaping, the hedonistic leisure pursuits heavily accessorized with upscale accessories. All led by the upper socioeconomic strata flaunting their status, as the masses toil in debt servitude.
As the populace competencies decline with decades of familial destruction rooted in “feminism” and parallel decades of identity class “equity”-forcing spanning education through all spheres.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have been working. Real substance and industry, starting with education. They have been replacing near-slave labor with robotics and automation at scale.
The shoes are largely made in places like Vietnam using components made in China.
Vietnam and other globalist inputs may variously still use near-slave labor, but as noted elsewhere when the markup from source to US retail is so huge, tariffs can be absorbed without much impact.
This latest tariff show is mostly show – and distraction from the undermining tectonics in play, like the forced contraction of the US military power as part of sinking the US:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/interceptor-precision-guided-weapons-use-trump-administration/
The puppet administration is apparently executing according to Plan. The Planners identified US strengths to exploit as weakness, behold the sinking unfolding before your eyes.
You still think Trump is going to MAGA and MAHA? Hello, the reversal of the (fake) MAHA continues:

Thank You for this – so very true. We have lost our way. We must repent and reconnect with GOD AllMighty.
That reads like it was written by a marxist.
Socioeconomic envy is no way to go through life.
I remember when gas stations were closed on Sundays except the ones located near the Freeways.
This is EXACTLY why Charlie was assanated!
Agreed. Even if they carry on with his policies and more, I doubt any other will think like he does regarding business and all the possibilities
plus workarounds.
Yepper.
Vance Trump 2028! The ultimate discombobulater.
In my opinion or belief only, there are no guarantees the President Trump will not have another term, if and only if he desires to put himself on the ballot again. Not sure at this hour how many elections were stolen from him, let alone anyone else in our “free and fair (bullshit) elections”
Anything, and I mean ANYTHING can happen. There is still much to do to resolve the autopen, the Biden crime syndicate family in general, and whether Obummer was a legitmate prez in particular.
I’m watching, but am not always enjoying the show. Justice has a way of getting it all right and good. Not sure how much time is left for me or anyone else, but God’s will- will be done on Earth as it is Heaven.
I get much of my daily Bread here on CTH. Peace be with us all.
I Am hopeful that he is grooming Marco Rubio for this position since Marco has taken on so many roles and obviously knows now what he may not have known when he was among the gang of 8.
My next pick would be Tulsi……..was a huge asset she has been to MAGA and our country!
I’m maybe a third on Vance….he may be more of a follower than an actual leader….we shall see.
They should put
another 50 percent on Canada,
can we apply a whiny bitch tax to Canada?
Only if it follows a good bitch slap which they really need
We need a liar and hypocrite tax in Australia, the word of the day is ‘unjustified’. Completely missing it’s about the IMPORTATION of goods made with forced labour. the govt and media peonies are combusting with moral outrage ‘we don’t have forced labour, we’re one of the strongest opponents of forced labour in the world etc etc whilst in KMART you’d be hard pressed to find anything that hasn’t been made by forced labour.
Cue Orange Man baaaddd incoming in 3,2,1
You still have KMART in Queensland?
They are all gone from my part of the US.
https://brilliantmaps.com/us-locations/kmart-locations-usa/
^^^ The US only has 11 Kmart stores in existence. Sad.
The Alignment of the NBA, Nike and China graphic in the article pretty much sums it all up.
Spot on cartoon at the beginning.
Yes, it does. I get angry every time I see a Nike jersey or shoes on an athlete, and the morons out on the street.
When Nike’s slave laborers don’t want to keep producing more Nike stuff, the Nike overseer cracks the whip and tells them “just do it!”
Happy to say that have never given a penny to Nike, the same goes for a union due.
Good stuff! This will be difficult for the courts to override.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” says the Commie American Judge.
Huh… you think they care about forced labor more than they hate trump?
Democrats will scream and moan about President Trump doing this trying to stop what is, in all seriousness, SLAVE LABOR.
“He’s raising the cost of living!”
NO, HE’S TRYING TO STOP SLAVE LABOR!!!
Democrats know it is going on. But if they are getting money out of other countries in any way, they are ok with these forced labor practices because they don’t do anything to stop it!
“Different cultural norms” is one way I can imagine them wording it. Biden used that phrase when questioned about something repulsive being done in another country.
The democrats are totally against stopping anything illegal or immoral. If illegal aliens are removed they will lose their cheap laborers.
I’m starting to think everyone one the left is basically a soulless monster.
We had a civil war over “different cultural norms”.
Brilliant that President Trump casts it in the light of “forced labor”. While I’m sure true, the spin zone on those who advocate against it is fabulous.
“These tariffs are horrible!”
“So you support slave labor?… NEXT”!!!!
Can he hire an overweight and no longer important actress to make tv ads that say: “For just $30 a month in tariffs, you can save a slave laborer…?”
Sally Struthers did lose her appeal when she ballooned up.
South Park crew did a spot on show featuring her.
Thank you, Sundance!
I love the illustration!
July 23 (Reuters) – The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits for the first time unexpectedly fell last week to the lowest since the 1960s, indicating the U.S. job market continues on an even keel and leaving Federal Reserve officials to keep their focus on containing inflation.
Calling a spade a spade.
How refreshing.
The Media in Brazil is quoting the ex treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, saying that “the tariffs are personal vendetta” from President Trump against Countries he doesn’t agree politically.
😒
Ain’t no one listening to that yellen. Can these people stay in their caves… Spit
I’d be fine with that!
no work, $150 shoes… made in China.
Yes, she’s sewing Nikes for export, the boxes are stacked behind her.
The end to end markup is probably something like 1000%.
I’m suprised Nike hasn’t started minting contracts with Dem politicians.
Nothing says Fake Retard like Nike.
I mean the slogan would have to be softer, obviously…
“Racial Equality Kicks” $150ea
Bring our manufacturing back and these tariffs can be avoided.
New Balance has a made in USA line.
Agree but there are items that are cost prohibitive even with out the tariffs.
Have a very good friend whose sons now make it a 3rd generation business.
He has one item in the line up that when it was brought on line many years ago was shopped for pricing in US and abroad, the US fabricators were twice as much minimum. The foreign company has been doing them for years, they only fabricate the initial part, it is then shipped here where all the other parts and pieces are assembled in the shop here. This items size is beyond that of the factory here to do in house, still 95% of the product is assembled here.
Every year he tasks his people to try to get it fabricated in US just last week the number was 4 times even with tariffs. The topper is the producer now just locked in the price for a large order.
This is going to be an issue with many others as the manufacturing returns, the others have robotics in place that will have to be set up and training included to be here.
The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him..
Please use your influence with Ishmael whoever he she or it is to wave his her or it’s magic wand and solve the tariff situation the America’s benefit. I’m no Jewish Bible expert but I know Ismael isn’t the Jewish G-d the great I am who am. Didn’t he she or it kill many enemies of the Jews Assyrians Egyptians Hamites ?
Life is not precious around the world
Only profit for the few
It always struck me odd when the big push to Chyna began, human rights and degradation has been in play there for decades by the CPP.
Ignored for profit
And everyoneEVERYONE has gone along with it
Until President Trump
The bs play acting on the world stage of concern for the poor little worker bees is tiring
10 plus 50 equals 60% tariff for can a duh.
😀
Suprising to read that Canada and the UK don’t have forced labor.
No forced labor, for now. That could easily change though.
But they support those who do.
Good.
Australia is awash with Chinese made cr@p. Cars-EVs, Temu crap, K Mart stuff–all made in Chyna.
Because of the stuff up with the economy, people resort to buying this cheap rubbish.
And as the whole population is depressed because of Allahbanese’s Labor government, those who cant afford decent goods, resort to buying cheap stuff to get a temporary high.
Temu I never bought anything from Temu but the prices $3.00 a pair of shoes pants or dress. Just imagine the quality of $3.00 shoes or pants. A lot of that garbage isn’t made in China any more Vietnam Laos Shan Cambodia where people are even more desperate and starving
Will President Trump’s trade policies lay the foundation for a new Bretton Woods system, or will Beijing’s economic model continue reshaping the global order?
This was a totally brilliant summary of what our great President is attempting to do for the world, and for our country. Wake up, you sleepy haters with horrible TDS!! Watch this and grasp the truth!
Use more helper bots to make stuff in volume, people can design and QC but use your tech wisely to free up people so they can do other stuff
We’ve had 300% inflation since I was a kid, $150 is the baseline cost for shoes unless you’re buying knockoffs that fall apart in a month.
