U.S. Trafficking Report Criticizes Fiji Over Grace Road Cult Inaction

The U.S. State Department's trafficking report faults Fiji for failing to address human trafficking, including allegations tied to the Grace Road Group. A one-year waiver prevented an automatic Tier 3 downgrade, signaling diplomatic pressure but no immediate sanctions. The waiver suggests U.S. tolerance for Fiji's progress, though continued inaction could escalate consequences.
