We dive deep into the complex landscape of global trade, human rights, and the potential implications of a returning Trump administration on tariffs and trade policies.

Human Rights and Supply Chain Integrity: We explore how U.S. efforts to avoid products linked to forced labor, like Xinjiang cotton, align with its identity rooted in freedom and human rights. This raises the question: is it purely for human rights, or is economic protectionism at play?
