US accuses 40+ countries of helping China dodge tariffs

The EU pushed back against renewed U.S. trade pressure, saying Washington's accusations that Brussels enables Chinese tariff evasion are unfounded.

Singapore said it takes trade compliance seriously and will act against businesses that break laws.

The U.S. is also considering new penalties on countries that facilitate transshipment.

The dispute adds to global trade tensions as the U.S. and China compete for economic influence.
