Inside U.S. Trade, in their article "Stakeholders sound off on USTR's forced-labor import ban probe," quoted International Trade Practice co-chair Timothy C. Brightbill's testimony before a United States Trade Representative (USTR) panel regarding the agency's investigation into imports associated with forced labor. Tim's remarks focused on specific concerns on the steel industry. "While Korea has strong labor protections 'on paper,' he said, reports suggest that it 'continues to overlook' forced labor practices both domestically and in supply chains extending beyond its borders, he said."
