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. Many of the female workers at the factory in West Java say the pay is so low that they live in constant debt and can’t afford to live with their own children. We speak to journalist Krithika Varagur in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital.
