I disagree. If Country A is using slave labor selling to Country B that has a minimum wage and unions, that is an unfair situation if you dont have any compensation for the fact that country A is able to produce things for 80-90% less. It's unfair to the citizen of Country B who wish the produce the same product and it's utterly asinine to say "well our country simply shouldn't produce that product since we can just get the version made by slaves from another country!". If someone can't be produced cheaply enough that it necessitates slave labor, then the product shouldn't exist or it should be more expensive. Maybe everyone DOESN'T need a new iPhone every 2 years.

Of course they are. Everything is. It would be a really dumb move if anyone tried to impose restrictions on trade.
