So the Trump administration is levying tariffs against Canada for not doing enough to stop enforced labour. That's rich coming from a country that still practices slavery.

Also.of note, I'm fairly sure that some of those countries lower down on the list don't use prison labor.

And certainly only the US offloads prison management to corporations for corporate profits.

The US isn’t the only country that has private prisons, I don’t know about the countries on that list but Australia has privatised prisons.

I don’t know much about them though.
