The Trump administration has just launched Section 301 investigations into 60 COUNTRIES for using modern slavery or "forced labor"

This could result in massive TARIFFS and fees from President Trump

"If we find that countries have been involved in unfair trading practices, like subsidies, excess capacity, allowing goods made with forced labor into their countries, we can quantify that harm to US commerce and then try to resolve that issue with the country."

"If they can't resolve it or don't resolve it sufficiently, you can impose a tariff or a fee or something like that."

"We're trying to move in a matter of months, and with that we can try to resolve some of these issues that have been plaguing the global trading system for many years and we're finally trying to solve."
