The Biden administration on Thursday designated 17 countries - mostly authoritarian states - as not doing enough to combat human trafficking and warned them of potential US sanctions.

The report criticised NATO ally Norway for not prosecuting any human trafficking cases during the reporting period and charging people suspected of the crime with lesser offences.
