00:05and that goods from the country should be hit with a 10 percent tariff.

00:14and enforce prohibitions on forced labor. Taiwan is one of 60 countries mentioned in that report.

00:25so tariffs are needed to protect them.

00:33and it will continue working with American authorities to make sure that both sides can maintain their interests.
