. Since then, under both the Obama and Trump administrations, CBP has used its detention authority 12 times to stop shipments, including those last week.
But then, last month, Costco Wholesale Corp. began importing baby pajamas made by the company. On September 21, 2019 and again on Sept. 26, 2019, Hetian Taida sent shipping containers filled with 100% polyester blanket sleepers for babies and toddlers to the U.S., labeled for Costco, according to shipping records.
Reached by phone on Monday, Hetian Taida Chairman Wu Hongbo told the AP that the company will cooperate with U.S. Customs and provide the agency with any documents it needs. Wu declined to answer further questions and said he has chosen to reject all media interview requests.
Hall said CBP’s detention orders “fired a starting gun to warn both Malaysian and Thai governments that rubber manufactured products like gloves, condoms, medical equipment as well as an array of other labor intensive products from the region that are currently manufactured using systemic migrant forced labor cannot be exported to the US.”
“We were completely blindsided,” he said. “It’s deeply disturbing for me personally and for our company.”Bone charcoal manufacturer, Bonechar Carvão Ativado Ltd. in southern Brazil, said accusations leading to its CBP detention order came from a competitor’s unfounded smear campaign. Bone charcoal is made by workers who burn animal bones, mostly cattle, in sealed ovens at temperatures as high as 1,292 F .
woodruffbets Thank god for Trump! He’s paying attention...
This is not the only country that uses child labour, underprivileged to do the dirty work. We should ban from all these countries.
IvankaTrump didn't like the competition and felt the employees were being treated too humanely?
Costco might not have known that was happening so don't hop on the boycott train just yet. At least not selling them. I've never been to a Costco so maybe they do deserve a boycott for something but MAYBE not this. If media was honest we might know what's going on in the world.
woodruffbets This isn’t the negotiating move to pressure China to agree to US trade demands in their scheduled meeting on Thursday. Meetings can be cancelled. Also, this hurts Costco but these decisions are personal for Trump.
So what your saying is that Trump hates babies and wants them to freeze.
Is he also going to stop slavery within America’s Prison-Industrial Complex?
JeanieOsc Only Ivanka gets to do that.
That’s awesome! Great decision taking the moral high ground. Now what about our internment facilities?
Ethnic minorities? What, Tibetans?
That’s one decision I agree with.
bevdevwarrior Doesn’t fit🤔
Great... now Trump has another asinine idea he can work with
And yet Nike runs the show
woodruffbets They were cutting into Ivanka’s slave labor sweatshop business
They can buy them from another company.
woodruffbets Wait wait wait... the Trump Administration is doing something good? Are we sure realDonaldTrump knows about this because he'll be sure to put a stop to it... as soon as the Chinese company books a room at one of his shitty hotels.
woodruffbets Doesn't American prisons force prisoners to work against their will? justsaying Let's address it all - and at home Fix the 13thamendment Slavery is Real here in American Prisons Private Prisons who also make money for every body they hold... even if not yet convicted Resist
Smart move finally!
ASIF Trump would give two shots about those workers...they are what Trump considers 'Losers' by order of birth. Because Trump thinks rich people are all just genetically superior not just lucky literally by birth...
xeni FYI: American prisons produce: 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet proof vests, 93% of domestically used paints, 36% of home appliances, 21% of office furniture, which allows America to compete with factories in Mexico. And China.
woodruffbets That must be the same place Ivanka gets her clothes made. It's all part of the negotiations, right?
woodruffbets Nobody cares. JoeBiden and his son could’ve bought Millions of diapers with the money they laundered and stole from America
woodruffbets I’m sorry but, are they also blocking IvankaTrump for her sweatshops?
woodruffbets Ironic since Ivanka's clothing line was made by a sweatshop 🙄
Did Ivanka get a patent for these
Meanwhile, at Ivanka’s sweatshop...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌💫✨TRUMP 2020💪💯%🇺🇸💕💞
One of Ivanka's companies?
What about Apple phones being made in China in slave like conditions? All countries should ban iphones.
Just a little investigation into his opponents, and he will release the shipment.
And now for the Rolex watches
Trump didn't know about this. The diligence of the media and the fine people helping our government operate in a caring and humane manner stood against bring in the goods. Trump will blow a gasket when he hears this.
Администрация Трампа блокирует поставки от китайской компании,производящей детские пижамы, кот. продаются на складах Costco после того, как этого производителя обвинили в том, что он насильно заставляет этнические меньшинства, заключенные в лагере для интернированных, шить одежду
Is this one of Ivanka's places?
Hey, here is an idea. Try something new, America - Actually read the article before you share an opinion about it, and if the opinion you must share is unrelated, find a different place to express it.
trump: “Oh, wait, the pajamas are from the Ivanka Trump line? Never mind, let em in.”
Says the man whose clothing line is made in...
So what... they’re like our prisons?
This does not reflect the beliefs of NBA in any way, we are deeply saddened
Never heard of a president actuallybtake ACTION against child labor
Biden son and Obama own %59 of in that Chinese company !
realDonaldTrump. Big mistake this is their internal affairs. Take your taxes and leave the chinese alone.
Good move by realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump you have to reverse your policy concerning withdrawal from Northern Syria which leaves the Kurds in a dangerouss situation Never abandon an ally
Good call now go after the companies Ivanka was using
if you cannot see this as a positive action the administration has taken, your hatred has overcome your ability to reason. Go seek help. It will only get worse for you.
If they were making iphones, it would be a different story.
HighlandPaddyHK Thank goodness.
Is his daughter selling pj’s in China now?
So Trump locked kids in cages and do this.? Very impressive.
Yeah, but were they affordable? Kidding. No pun intended...mostly.
Invanka needs them focused on her designer knockoffs
Great job and shame shame on Costco BoycottCostco
Never mind the fact that he is willing to let thousands of Kurds die.
Hate to tell realDonaldTrump but NestleUSA MDLZ ALSO use Child labour overseas.
It’s so easy to stop this completely. Tell companies that if they are found selling products from manufacturers using these methods that they will be fined 200% the amount that was sold. Make the seller subject the manufacturer to scrutiny and liable to the fine
Saying, we have plenty of minority kids in cages, bring those jobs back to the US.
This is a good thing yes? Sorry, just not sure until the media tell me what to think!
Isn’t that what we do except without sewing part ?
He's just jealous.
Doesn’t IvankaTrump own that company?
They raided one of Ivanka's warehouses?
I actually have to side with the administration on this given what we know. However there are actually a lot of Chinese products produced through slave labor and this isn’t the worst offender. Still...umm good for the Trump administration.
they “want in on it.”
Shame on you Costco
Best President ever
Hmm, wonder what his motives were...certainly not those poor workers, he's incapable of empathy/compassion.
Read: he wants to take over that factory and give it to Vanki for Christmas.
billhandelshow
All the people here moaning about ‘why is he doing this.. did he not get his cut of the profits?’ Would be moaning even louder if he didn’t do anything about it. We get it, you’re a partisan hack.
Good! I love that our POTUS will stand against cruelty & injustice!
ColbyPenadios costco WTF?
Another example of WINNING with our POTUS KAG2020LandslideVictory
Well if proof isn't needed . We should be good to go on impeachment Could the news stop printing press releases from the Wizard of Oz, and start printing actual facts
Wonder what's the truth, and the real reason they are doing this.
Odd. You'd think he'd be all for this.
You spelled Pres. Obama’s name wrong in one of the middle grafs, FYI
How is this different from Ivanka's sweatshops?
Ivanka is sad she didn’t think of it first.
Elaine Chao is not going to be happy about her shrinking profits.
dont they have that same policy at for profit prisons in america?
Fine China $600B for this outrage.This horrific.Fine Costco $40B for buying them.
Work will set you free.
I don't want to buy slave made goods from Costco. EVER costcocanada
Wish the NBA was as thoughtful
That’s not why...
In completely unrelated news, Ivanka Trump has found a new manufacturer for her clothing line.
Why Pretend Mr President ? You care about you.
Must be a competitor of his daughter’s company.
Until trump here’s about this!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I'm old enough to remember when the left hated Nike for the same reasons. How times have changed.
Well they need return all those voting machines to China. Which are in America. That’s China gave Ivanka a Trademark for.
We need more Trump realDonaldTrump
This is a good thing but the hate many have blinds them
All because they probably didn’t want to give this one patent to Ivanka...😆😆😆 TrumpCrimeFamily
I smell ivanka(skankhoe)
Trump family clothing is made by Chinese children sewing their fingers to the bone...
Glass Houses / Stones
Gee whiz. realDonaldTrump has committed crimes and continues to call for a civil war from his followers...let us now give him props. wtf ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW TrumpTaxReturns
Somehow I suspect that if Costco had made a large donation to someone’s inaugural, they might not be having this problem.
SRGUO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh the irony
Were they standing Right next to the realDonaldTrump suit collection?!? He loves entrapment camps and cheap labor.
kandixxxp
Funny Thing Is, Trump Heard This Rumor In A Dream, Not By Any Government Official.
Of course. Trump has to be the innovator in the eyes of KJU and Putin. He can’t have someone taking what he has on the southern border and turning mass profits first. Give it six months and MAGA hats will be made somewhere in America again. Watch.
Only unhinged Lefitst lunatics will find a way to make this a bad thing
How very Ironic... By a US president who incarcerates little children and tortures them (some die!).
Found a more profitable and disgusting idea probably. Have the immigrants detained at the border camps do it for food and water.
Yet, we have SLAVE LABOR...Making Ivanka Trump shoes: Long hours, low pay and abuse
That is a good thing.
Uhh… hello.. its CHINA!
And yet Trump has immigrant children in similar camps and had to be ordered by a judge to give them toothbrushes, pillows, and feed them properly. He's not doing this because he cares. It's a distraction. Don't fall for it.
Thank you President Trump.
Hey what are you doing Remember please every media outlet and everyone hates Trump. This is entirely unacceptable, it it it just makes me want to scream uncontrollably like a 4 year old child
Take ACTION against climate change and save MONEY on gas with this e-bike!
Now, realDonaldTrump FDATobacco block the 50mg counterfeit disposable pods that are attracting kids. Block unregistered imports. Then, restore the destroyed lives of MA vape shop owners and employees.
That does not sound like the trump admin. I would think they would be trying to figure out how to get in on that deal and make a buck.
SteveKerr ask your brother before commenting
Who makes Ivanka's hand bags and Trump's ties?
Yes! Only Ivanka has the power of child labor.
😱😱😱
