USA make new rules for goods from 60 lands

111

The USA start new ZFlle. A Zoll is a tax on goods from other lands. The new rules start on Friday morning. They affect 60 partner lands of the USA. These are the Europäische Union and Switzerland.

The tax is 10 or 12.5 percent. The US government says: Many lands do too little against Zwangs-Arbeit. That is unfair for firms in the USA. Goods on ships are safe for now. They have time until July 28.

President Donald Trump wanted high ZFlle before. A high court stopped these ZFlle. Now the government uses an old law from 1974. Critics say: The ZFlle make many things more expensive. That raises Inflation in the USA.
