Experts say the United States is pivoting to a new legal strategy to impose tariffs on its trade partners, following a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.

This comes after the US Supreme Court struck down a key pillar of the administration’s tariff policy in February, ruling that the President exceeded his authority under emergency laws.

In a fresh move, the US has now announced a targeted probe into whether sixty nations-including South Africa-are doing enough to block goods produced with forced labour.
