The #US has arguably the strongest restrictions on forced labor imports of any country. It has prohibited the importation of goods made with #SlaveLabor for nearly a century, though it still allows #PrisonLabor under conditions that labor organizations consider coercive. In 2021, under Biden, the US passed a #law banning imports from a region of China where it had found forced labor to be rampant.

#Canada, which will be subject to a 10% tariff under the arrangement, already prohibits importing forced labor goods. The #EU, also at 10%, has a ban that is scheduled to take effect in December 2027. But #Trump officials say that the governments have not effectively enforced those laws [like they actually care].
