Trump’s visit to India has also drawn scrutiny because of her clothing line’s relationship to the country. As The Washington Post reported in July, Trump’s brand — which saw wholesale revenue rise to $47.3 million in 2016 — is manufactured entirely overseas. A 2016 report revealed that one in seven women garment workers in Bengaluru say they’ve either been raped or forced to perform a sex act while at work. In neighboring Bangladesh, garment workers are paid even lower wages, on average, than their counterparts in India. Trump’s brand also came under fire from a labor rights group for producing goods at Chinese facilities that allegedly paid workers roughly one dollar an hour.
