U.S. Imposes New Global Tariffs | Guyana News

The U.S. slaps a new 12.5% tariff on imports from Guyana and 60 other nations, replacing a previous 10% global levy — a move aimed at cracking down on forced labor in global supply chains. Leveraging Section 301 after the Supreme Court blocked prior efforts, the Trump administration seeks to impose baseline duties on nearly all imports, excluding oil, gas, and certain food.

Exemptions exist for critical minerals and USMCA-compliant goods, but the global trade impact is still unfolding.
