Today’s enforcement actions make it clear—the U.S. will not tolerate forced labor in goods entering our markets. The UFLPA is a powerful tool in the fight against forced labor. We urge companies to take responsibility, know their supply chains, and act ethically.

@DHSgov is uncompromising in removing forced labor from U.S. supply chains. Our enforcement efforts are yielding results. Our Administration is committed to advancing this momentum and strengthening accountability across global supply chains.

Through today’s expansion of the Entity List, we enable American businesses to better assess their supply chains and ensure they do not profit, directly or indirectly, from the use of forced labor. ⤵️

.@DHS_Policy Under Secretary Rob Silvers talks AI and China:

“When it comes to AI, #China is in the race. I’m glad to say that the U.S. is in the lead, but it may not always be that way …
Whoever has the stronger #AI ecosystem will reap tremendous dividends.” @DHSgov
