The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has initiated Section 301 investigations into South Korea and 59 other economies for failing to adequately ban imports of goods produced with forced labor. This move comes as the Donald Trump administration seeks to introduce new tariffs to replace country-specific emergency tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court last month. South Korea's government plans to engage in close consultations with the U.S. to safeguard national interests.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that results of Section 301 trade investigations into more than 70 countries, including South Korea, China and Japan, will be released over the next few weeks.
