Probe Launched
USTR officially announces Section 301 investigations into 16 nations.
The United States has initiated a massive Section 301 investigation targeting 16 major trading partners, including China, the EU, India, and Taiwan, over alleged unfair trade practices. This aggressive move signals a significant escalation in global trade protectionism and could lead to widespread tariffs across multiple sectors.
Economic experts are urging Taiwan to develop a proactive strategy as the risk of a U.S. Section 301 trade probe increases. The warning comes amid a widening trade surplus and shifting U.S. trade policies that prioritize domestic manufacturing and supply chain security.
