US small businesses challenge Trump’s new ‘forced labor’ tariffs
The new tariffs took effect just as a temporary 10 perccent global tariff expired.Trump has made tariffs a central pillar of his foreign policy, using them as leverage to negotiate trade deals around the globe.

The Trump administration is appealing that ruling.
