Summary

  • Singapore said it does not condone forced labor and sees no evidence linking its supply chains to goods associated with the practice.
  • The denial came after President Donald Trump proposed new tariffs tied to forced-labor practices, part of his effort to rebuild a protectionist trade wall.
  • A Ministry of Trade and Industry spokesperson delivered the response in an emailed statement to Bloomberg, directly rebutting the US allegations.
