Forced labour farce: On India and the U.S.’s new tariffs
The 10% tariff that the United States has imposed on India and several other countries over their imports of goods supposedly made using forced labour is merely an attempt to restore permanent tariffs and, once again, highlight the benefits of a trade deal with the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 2026 decision dealt a body blow to the U.S.’s attempts to secure trade deals. The main threat, of high reciprocal tariffs, had been removed.
