U S Blocks Sea Salt Imports Over Forced Labor in Korea
The United States halted imports of sea salt from Taepyung salt farm on Jeungdo Island Sinan after U S Customs found signs of forced labor. Taepyung, South Korea’s largest producer at about 16 000 tons annually, faces decades of accusations and was the first foreign government to suspend imports over slave labor concerns. Local ministry officials say they are engaging with U S authorities and reviewing steps to lift the order while acknowledging past abuses and ongoing reforms.
