Trade with China
A little-known trade loophole cost American jobs and put families at risk - until a coalition fought back. Kim Glas, president & CEO of the National Council of Textile Organizations, discusses how a coalition of labor, manufacturers, retailers and families worked together to close the de minimis loophole. Kim explains how Chinese e-commerce giants exploited this U.S law to flood the U.S. with untaxed and uninspected goods, including products made with forced labor, unsafe merchandise, and fentanyl shipments into the country.
Kim breaks down where the law now stands and how de minimis reform protects American workers, consumers, and national security.
