Trump administration considers adding Shein, Temu to 'forced labour' list, Semafor reports

4 days ago 63

WASHINGTON - The US is discussing whether to add Chinese e-commerce retailers Shein and Temu to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ‘forced labour’ list, Semafor reported on Feb 4.

The Trump administration has not made a final decision on the matter and could ultimately decide not to list either, the report said, citing two sources familiar with the discussions.

The move comes after China imposed targeted tariffs on US imports and put several companies, including Alphabet Inc’s Google, on notice for possible sanctions, in a measured response to US President Donald Trump’s levies, which came into effect on Feb 4.

DHS, Temu, which is a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings, and Singapore-headquartered Shein, did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. REUTERS
