As Trump Touts “Made in America” Week, Indonesian Workers Toil Away Making Ivanka Trump Apparel
While President Trump is promoting “Made in America” week, we turn now to look at a recent investigation by The Guardian that revealed workplace abuse, grueling production targets and deplorably low pay at an Indonesian factory that makes clothing for Ivanka Trump’s label.

We speak to journalist Krithika Varagur in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital.
