The United States has imposed new tariffs on 60 trading partners, including Israel, according to a report published Friday morning. The stated rationale for the move is that the targeted countries have not done enough to combat forced labor in their production chains.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the Trump administration had been preparing a new round of tariffs on dozens of countries. A previous bulletin noted that the administration had announced tariffs aimed at combating forced labor in goods production, though specific countries and rates were not disclosed at the time. The current report names Israel among the 60 affected partners but does not specify the tariff rates or the effective date.
The move follows a broader pattern of US trade actions under the current administration, including tariffs on Canadian and Brazilian goods and sanctions on Iran-linked entities. The specific impact on Israeli exports and the government's response remain unclear at this stage.
