Volkswagen: Thousands of cars are stuck in US ports. A Volkswagen supplier found a component in the cars that violated the law against forced labor.

The US bans the import of products made using forced labor in China's Xinjiang Uyghur region. VW operates a factory and test track in the province in a joint venture with the state-owned Chinese car manufacturer SAIC. The German car company has come under increasing pressure in recent days to follow BASF's lead and withdraw from Xinjiang.
