Washington, Jun 11 (AP) US President Donald Trump says the US will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China in a deal and tariffs on Chinese goods are going to 55 per cent.

Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labour through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from the far-western Xinjiang region of China, an international rights group said Wednesday. (AP) RD RD

Trade tariffs rise sharply on Chinese imports, and supply chain scrutiny increases over forced labour risks in critical minerals sourcing. An executive trade policy announcement increases import duties on Chinese goods and reports procurement for magnets and rare earth minerals from China, signalling a substantial rise in trade tariffs affecting imports. The statement highlights that multiple global brands may be exposed to forced labour risks where critical minerals or mineral based products originate in Xinjiang, indicating the need for enhanced due diligence, supplier tracing, and customs compliance to address human rights and import risk implications.
