The duties would fall under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which is aimed against countries that engage in forced labor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">\u201cToday\u2019s action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere,\u201d Greer said in a statement. \u201cI am encouraged by the trading partners who have moved quickly to adopt forced labor import prohibitions, and look forward to ensuring their effective enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/trump-tariffs\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Trump\u2019s tariffs<\/a> policy suffered a damaging blow in February when the US supreme court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/feb\/20\/trump-supreme-court-tariffs-ruling\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">ruled<\/a> that many of those tariffs were illegal. While the US replaced those tariffs with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/feb\/24\/donald-trump-global-tariff-us-levy\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">10% tariff regime<\/a> on much of the world, these are due to expire on Friday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"1576fa42-414e-4263-b7ef-7dbe7e239845\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-1oq85qr\">\n<div data-print-layout=\"hide\" data-link-name=\"rich-link-4 | 4\" data-component=\"rich-link\" data-name=\"placeholder\" class=\"dcr-1rx5ky9\">\n<div data-format-theme=\"5\" data-format-design=\"0\" data-format-display=\"0\" class=\"dcr-uyoh2p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jul\/22\/trump-tariffs-inflation-jamieson-greer\" class=\"dcr-f35c0u\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"dcr-vvxpdt\">\n<div class=\"dcr-6z6e7\">\n<div class=\"dcr-zh9rih\">US trade chief defends tariffs as Democrats say Trump \u2018in denial\u2019 over price hikes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dcr-oj13vq\">\n<div class=\"dcr-ef9nua\">Read more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Trump and his officials have claimed his controversial trade agenda will help revitalize US industrial heartlands and boost jobs. But his tariff policies have faced several setbacks since they were first instituted last year, and critics have warned his sweeping tariffs risk increasing prices nationwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">US inflation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2026\/jun\/25\/us-may-inflation-gauge-three-year-high\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">surged to a three-year high<\/a> earlier this year. During a heated exchange before US senators on Wednesday, however, Greer appeared to claim Trump\u2019s policies had not driven prices higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Asked by the Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren if the tariffs had increased prices for American families, Greer said: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">\u201cCore inflation fell to 2.6% year on year, much better than in January 2025,\u201d he added. Core inflation excludes food and energy. Overall inflation is slightly higher than it was when Joe Biden left office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><em>More details soon \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-print-layout=\"hide\" class=\"dcr-swayiu\"><span class=\"dcr-1xhbmzr\">Explore more on these topics<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"dcr-2c03t5\">\n<ul class=\"dcr-p7nd18\">\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/us-news\/trump-administration\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">Trump administration<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/business\/tariffs\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">Tariffs<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/business\/useconomy\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">US economy<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/business\/economics\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">Economics<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/us-news\/us-politics\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">US politics<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/us-news\/trump-tariffs\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">Trump tariffs<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"dcr-r721ee\"><a href=\"\/tone\/news\" class=\"dcr-856iwi\">news<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dcr-313bdz\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Trump%20administration%20to%20impose%20fresh%20wave%20of%20tariffs%20on%20more%20than%2080%20countries&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jul\/23\/trump-administration-trade-tariffs?CMP=share_btn_url\" class=\"dcr-ncybeu\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"dcr-19bkree\"><a data-link-name=\"meta-syndication-article\" href=\"https:\/\/syndication.theguardian.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fus-news%2F2026%2Fjul%2F23%2Ftrump-administration-trade-tariffs&amp;type=article&amp;internalpagecode=us-news\/2026\/jul\/23\/trump-administration-trade-tariffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" title=\"Reuse this content\" class=\"dcr-1c41onw\">Reuse this content<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-gu-name=\"right-column\" class=\"dcr-1kq7f60\"><span class=\"dcr-1ryr20k\"><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump during an event to promote \u2018Trump accounts\u2019 at Wheeler high school in Marietta, Georgia, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":5688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.usglobalnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
