Last update: 31 minutes agoUS Tariffs on Forced Labor: The Trump administration imposed new Section 301 tariffs on 60 trading partners, effective July 24, replacing an expiring temporary 10% levy. Rates are 10% for countries that have adopted and enforce forced-labor import bans, and 12.5% for those that haven’t, with product exemptions (like oil, gas, fertilizer, and some food) and coverage claimed at 99.4% of US imports. El Salvador in the 10% tier: El Salvador is listed among the countries receiving the 10% rate, signaling it is viewed as having a forced-labor prohibition framework. Local Impact Watch: For Salvadorans tied to US supply chains and trade-linked jobs, the key question now is how exemptions and product rules of origin will affect costs and orders. Immigration Pressure in the US: A separate report highlights how TPS uncertainty is hitting Salvadorans and other groups in US communities, adding stress for families already facing job loss and fear of deportation.
