The Trump administration's universal 10% alternative tariff is set to expire on the 24th. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated on the 22nd that final measures for new tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act, citing inadequate forced labor countermeasures, will be announced as early as the 23rd. A proposal released in June set the tariff on Japan at 12.5%, indicating a focus on the 15% ceiling for reciprocal tariffs agreed upon in trade negotiations with Japan and the EU. According to the Financial Times, senior US officials are urging President Trump to honor the agreements.
