U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) have introduced the No Funds for Forced Labor Act, aiming to block U.S. funding for international projects using forced labor, particularly in China’s Xinjiang region. The bill requires the U.S. Treasury to oppose such projects through international financial institutions. This initiative builds on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act to prevent U.S. complicity in human rights abuses. Companion legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA).
