How is the second Trump Administration enforcing laws against forced labor in global supply chains?
When it comes to fighting forced labor, the government has a lot of tools at its command. So what approach is U.S. Customs and Border Protection taking under the Trump Administration? On this episode, we review the thicket of forms, audits and investigations — both civil and criminal — that the government can bring to bear. Our guide is Angela Santos, partner and customs practice leader at the law firm of ArentFox Schiff. She explains what manufacturers, importers and other entities in the extended supply chain must do to stay compliant with laws against forced labor. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
