US White House report identifies 40+ nations facilitating Chinese tariff evasion

A Trump Administration white paper titled 'The Great Transshipment Scam' accuses over 40 countries, including Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, of assisting China in circumventing US trade restrictions. The document characterizes these actions as mercantilist violations of WTO principles, signaling a potential shift toward broader secondary sanctions or increased enforcement against transshipment hubs.
