China, Russia, and Uzbekistan are called among the list of worst offenders when it comes to peoples trafficking, based on circumstances Department report released Wednesday, joining Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, and Zimbabwe in the bottom “tier” of the U.S. human trafficking rank.
Their lower designation means the U.S. may sanction those nations with measures like cancelling non-humanitarian and armed forces support, ending exchange visits for government officials, and voting against any IMF or World Bank loans.
