USTR proposes 100% tariffs on Nicaraguan goods after finding labor abuses

The Trump administration may impose tariffs of up to 100% on Nicaraguan goods after finding that Nicaragua’s labor and human rights policies are unreasonable and impeding U.S. commerce, the U.S. Trade Representative’s office said on Monday.
Releasing the results of a “Section 301” unfair trade practices probe launched during the final days of President Joe Biden’s administration, USTR said it proposed tariffs of up to 100% on all or some of Nicaragua’s goods. President Donald Trump will make the ultimate decision on which action to take.
