Trade Policy Impact on Honduras: The Trump administration launched sweeping Section 301 tariffs on 60 economies over alleged forced-labor enforcement gaps; Honduras is listed for a 10% duty category, while other countries face 12.5%, with the move covering about 99.4% of U.S. imports and taking effect as the prior temporary tariff expired.
