A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers, led by House China select committee ranking member Ro Khanna, has called on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release a long-awaited report on alleged illegal labor practices by Chinese companies in the U.S. auto industry.
The report, originally due in May, has yet to be made public, raising concerns about potential regulatory and trade implications.
The development comes amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over trade and labor issues.
Recent reports have highlighted slowing Chinese manufacturing activity and renewed hopes for a trade truce following the Trump-Xi summit.
However, the delayed report could reignite scrutiny of Chinese operations in the U.S., particularly in the auto sector.
The Justice Department's findings could influence future policy decisions, including potential tariffs or sanctions.
