TRUMP PREPARES NEW TARIFF INVESTIGATIONS The Office of the United States Trade Representative is preparing to launch Section 301 investigations into alleged unfair trade practices by multiple countries. The probes could lead to **new tariffs on nations including China and possibly the European Union. The investigations would replace the temporary 10% global tariffs imposed last month after the Supreme Court of the United States ruled several earlier levies illegal. The probes may target issues such as industrial overcapacity, digital trade rules, and forced labor practices, though the process could take months before tariffs are imposed.
