Brazil and Burma don't figure as the major import trading partners of the United States. As the example I pointed out shows, the slavery issue you bring up is a red herring - you people don't even like imports from Canada if it doesn't suit you.

I said SOME of the biggest "trading partners",and included concrete examples of countries using slave labor and human trafficking.

And even if some of these "trading partners" are not the biggest, a society with an abhorrance to slavery should not trade with them. But the WTO says we must or we will be violating their rules.

Trying to diminish the fact that globally,slavery is on the rise due to the fraudulently named "free trade" system won't fly.
