AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoUS Tariffs & Supply Chains: The Trump administration has rolled out new Section 301 tariffs on 60 trading partners over alleged weak enforcement of forced-labour import bans, with rates set at 10% or 12.5% (and multiple product exemptions). The duties start as a temporary 10% global tariff expires, and the USTR says the move covers 99.4% of US imports while aiming to push partners to tighten compliance. Jordan in the List: Jordan is included in the lower 10% tier, reflecting the US view that it has adopted or committed to enforce forced-labour prohibitions. Middle East Energy Shock: Separately, the US-Iran escalation continues for a 13th night of strikes, while Yemen’s Houthis report attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, raising fresh shipping and oil-price risks. Regional Spillover: Iran’s foreign minister warned against using frozen Iranian assets to cover damages, as Gulf countries stay on high alert.
