"US Imposes Trade Duties on 60 Countries Amid Growing Concerns Over Forced Labour In a move aimed at combating the widespread use of forced labour, the US government has imposed trade duties on 60 countries that have failed to take adequate measures to address the issue. The duties, a key component of the US's efforts to promote fair labour standards, have been imposed on countries whose governments have been accused of turning a blind eye to the exploitation of workers. The decision comes as part of a broader effort to tackle the complex problem of modern slavery, which is estimated to affect millions of people worldwide. With the US government seeking to take a leading role in the global fight against forced labour, the implications of these trade duties are likely to be far-reaching and have significant consequences for the affected countries."
The duties were imposed over claims that 60 US trading partners have failed to tackle forced labour.
