NSTworld: Trump will suspend trade preferences for Thailand's seafood industry after it failed to take steps to improve worker rights.

Thailand is the world's third largest seafood exporter but its supplier status has been badly tainted in recent years by reports of slave labor and trafficking among the mainly migrant work force.

"I have determined that Thailand is not taking steps to afford workers in Thailand internationally recognized worker rights... it is appropriate to suspend the duty-free treatment," Trump said in the letter. According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, Made-In-Thailand exports to the US totalled $31.9 billion in 2018, with electrical machinery making up the majority of goods coming in.
