AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoUS Tariffs Hit Guatemala: The Trump administration’s forced-labor tariff regime is now in effect, with Guatemala listed among economies facing a 10% added duty under Section 301, as Washington replaces an expiring global 10% levy with a broader, indefinite structure targeting goods it says come from forced labor. Trade Pressure Across the Region: The same action covers 60 trading partners, including the EU and China, with 10% or 12.5% rates depending on each country’s forced-labor rules and enforcement. Local Relevance for Guatemala: The tariff list explicitly includes Guatemala, alongside Mexico, Honduras, India and others, meaning importers and exporters here are likely to feel new cost and competitiveness shifts. Sports Spotlight: Guatemala also lands in tough CONCACAF Nations League groups, with the Reggae Boyz set to host Guatemala in September. Heritage Moment: Guatemala formally recognized Jerusalem’s City of David as part of its national heritage, unveiling an official plaque.
