Trump Imposes New Tariffs on 60 Countries
President Donald Trump's administration has put new taxes on goods from 60 countries, including big ones like the European Union, China, India, and Japan.
The US says these taxes are to stop goods made with forced labor from coming in.
But many of these countries are upset and say the taxes are unfair.
They don't agree with the US's reason for putting these taxes.
The US is also planning more tariffs in the future, which might make things even more complicated for businesses and other countries.
President Donald Trump's administration imposed fresh tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners.
Affected countries include the European Union (EU), China, India, and Japan.
The US justified the move by alleging that the affected countries had failed to curb imports of goods made with forced labor.
Several countries rejected the US's justification and criticized the tariffs as unfair.
The move triggered strong reactions from governments across the world.
