Trump Tariffs: America has proposed major trade action against 60 countries and economies including India. The US Trade Representative (USTR) says that these countries have not implemented effective restrictions on the import of goods allegedly made with forced labor.

The American agency has proposed imposing additional duties, calling it harmful for American trade and industry. This development has come to light at a time when continuous talks are going on between India and America to finalize the bilateral trade agreement.

Proposal for action against 60 economies

The Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) said in a statement issued on Tuesday that after an investigation under Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974, it has been concluded that the policies and practices of 60 economies are adversely affecting US trade. According to USTR, US businesses are being harmed by these countries’ failure to effectively prevent imports of products made with forced labor. Therefore, these cases have been considered actionable under US trade law.

India also included in the list

India is also included among the 54 countries and economies which USTR has placed in this category. Apart from India, countries like Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, China, Japan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Britain and United Arab Emirates are also included in this list. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the failure of America’s major trading partners to stop the import of products made with forced labor is unacceptable. According to him, due to this, American workers have to face unequal competition in the global market.

proposal to impose additional fees

Based on the findings of the investigation, USTR has proposed to impose additional duties on products coming from the concerned countries. According to the agency, an additional 10 percent duty may be imposed on countries that have implemented a ban on products made from forced labor or have made a commitment to do so. There is a proposal to impose additional duty up to 12.5 percent on other countries. Apart from this, a separate arrangement has also been proposed for some imports related to textile and apparel sector.

The investigation started in March

USTR said that the investigation into this matter was started on March 12. Statements of approximately 60 witnesses were taken during the investigation and approximately 500 comments were received during the public consultation process. After considering all these aspects, the agency has prepared its conclusions.

USTR gave reasons for action

The US agency says that the lack of effective restrictions on the import of products made from forced labor weakens efforts to end labor exploitation at the global level. According to USTR, this gives an unfair advantage to low-cost producers, impairs market competition, and harms companies that do not use forced labor. This also increases the possibility of bypassing the restrictions already in place.

The proposal came amid India-US trade talks

This proposal has come at a time when India and America are working towards finalizing the first phase of the bilateral trade agreement. In the last few months, several rounds of talks have taken place between officials of New Delhi and Washington. Issues like market access, tariffs, digital trade and agriculture have been prominently included in these talks.

Tension increased after Trump’s tariff policy

This step of USTR has come amid trade tensions arising after the reciprocal tariff policy of US President Donald Trump. Earlier this year, India was also among the countries which the US had warned of imposing higher tariffs. However, later some proposed steps were temporarily stopped for talks with trading partner countries. India has consistently maintained that it is working towards a balanced and win-win trade agreement while protecting its sensitive domestic sectors.

America is still India’s biggest trading partner

Despite trade differences emerging from time to time, America remains India’s largest trading partner. Bilateral trade in goods between the two countries has crossed the level of more than 120 billion dollars in recent years. Both India and America have reiterated their commitment to further strengthen economic relations.

Comments sought till July 6

USTR has invited written comments on the proposed measures by July 6. After this, a public hearing will be held on July 7. The final decision will be taken after hearing and considering the suggestions received. The agency has clarified that charges will not be automatically imposed based on its findings. But if the US administration decides to move forward, additional tariffs, import quotas or other trade restrictions could be imposed under Section 301.

US President Donald Trump is continuously putting pressure on the world regarding trade. In such a situation, China has now given a big blow to America. This is the first time in 7 years that China has not purchased American soybean. In the last month i.e. September 2025, China has not imported soybean from America.

According to the data shared by China, imports from America have decreased from 1.7 million metric tons to zero in the last month i.e. September 2025. Experts say that this move by China may increase the economic pressure on America, because trade tension between the two countries is continuously increasing.

turning towards other countries

Due to trade tension, China is now turning its trade towards other countries. China’s import of soybean from Brazil has increased by 29.9 percent to 10.96 million tons. That means this is about 85 percent of the total imports. At the same time, imports from Argentina have also increased by 91.5% to 1.17 million tonnes. In such a situation, leaving America aside, China is now turning towards countries like Brazil and Argentina. Its direct impact is being seen on American farmers.

An expert of Capital Jingdu Futures says that China is the world’s largest soybean importer. But the decline in imports is mainly due to tariffs. On the other hand, American farmers are facing losses worth billions of dollars due to China stopping the import of American soybeans. Experts say that if these conditions persist for a long time, the American agricultural sector may suffer a major setback.

China has clarified that the controls imposed by it are lawful and it is ready to promote dialogue and cooperation with all countries to maintain the security of global industrial and supply chains. At the same time, America has warned that if the situation does not improve, this month’s scheduled meeting with President Xi Jinping may be cancelled.

China made these allegations against America

China has alleged that since September, America has increased economic pressure on China. A ministry spokesperson said, ‘These steps have seriously harmed China’s interests and seriously affected the environment of trade negotiations between the two countries.’ The Commerce Ministry also said, ‘Threatening higher tariffs at every turn is not the right way to negotiate with China.’

China made this appeal to the Trump administration

China has appealed to the Trump administration to change its trade approach and condemned ‘threats of higher tariffs’. At the same time, the Chinese Ministry warned that if America remains adamant on its wrong policies, China will take concrete steps to protect its legitimate rights and interests.

The Chinese spokesperson further said, ‘China’s position is clear, we do not want a trade war, but we are not afraid of it either. We appeal to America to immediately correct its wrong practices.

Trump imposed 100 percent extra tariff on China

US President Donald Trump imposed 100% extra tariff on China and said that the decision taken by China on rare earth minerals will affect all countries. He called it a moral outrage and said it was part of China’s long-term strategy to dominate world trade. Trump made it clear that America will take unilateral action, no matter what other countries do. He said that from November 1, 2025, America will impose 100% new tariffs on China, which will be different and additional to any tariff currently imposed.

Pakistan on us tariff: Jinping government of China is very upset after the US has imposed heavy tariffs. She is pleading for help from India. On this, Pakistani woman YouTuber Sana Amjad took opinion from Awam. He questioned that China is the best friend of Pakistan. He is looking towards India in difficult times. What will you say on this? One person said that I love Donald Trump Personally. However, the decision that he is currently taking is really shocking. His fury is clearly visible. It is a matter of India and China, there is a good trade between the two countries. In this sense, if both countries come together, then it can cause trouble for America.

The Pakistani person further said that the population of India and China is crossing 100 crores. If both countries become against America at such a time, then it will be a big defeat for Donald Trump. In today’s time, many western countries are also against America. However, America never wants this. They are afraid that China will become the super power of the world in the coming 10 years. Because of this, they are now targeting only China.
