Require a strategy report from the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (established by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act) and regular updates on the steps taken to enforce the import prohibition on forced labor made goods from the XUAR.

The bill would require the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force to report its enforcement strategy and provide regular updates on enforcing the Xinjiang forced-labor import ban.
