US Accused of Downplaying Vietnam’s Human Trafficking Record to Win New Ally Against China
Daniel Kritenbrink (US Department of State/Released)
JUNE 25, 2024 FREEBASE NEWS
 
The U.S. State Department upgraded Vietnam’s status on combatting human trafficking in a new report on Monday, despite recent allegations government leaders within the country have engaged in and covered up human trafficking. Vietnam’s rise in the TIP reporting system has sparked questions about whether the U.S. government has politicized its annual human trafficking review to curry favor with a potential partner in the Indo-Pacific region.

The State Department released its annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report on June 24, rating 188 countries and territories around the world for their compliance with the 2000 Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). The annual TIP report places countries in one of four tiers, based on their compliance with TVPA.


Tier 1 countries are those whose governments the State Department assesses to meet the minimum TVPA standards for combatting human trafficking.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I don't know.  I don't really think this administration would do anything to improve the US position in the world, especially something questionable like this. :im waiting:
