The U.S. is considering adding Chinese e-commerce companies Shein and Temu to the Department of Homeland Security's "forced labor" list, according to a report from Semafor. The Trump administration has not yet made a decision and could decide not to list either company. Both Shein and Temu denied using forced labor in their operations. Shein stated it complies with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, while Temu said it strictly prohibits forced labor. This comes after China imposed tariffs on U.S. imports and warned companies, including Google, of potential sanctions in response to U.S. tariffs.
