How does the termination of these programs affect American businesses and workers?

The termination impacts worker rights globally and harms US interests by undermining efforts to improve labor standards in international supply chains. This decision disrupts decades of bipartisan consensus on the importance of these programs, potentially increasing the exploitation of workers abroad and negatively affecting American businesses reliant on those supply chains. The cuts affect programs in various countries, including those enforcing trade agreements and addressing forced labor, like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
