Current and former officials say political appointees at the State Department changed how the report has traditionally been written and edited.
This includes the administration's views on countries including Brazil and South Africa, while tempering criticisms of El Salvador, a key partner in Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said yesterday the report quote addresses abuses that had not previously been covered.
Well, as Canada tries to negotiate a new trade deal and security relationship with the US, Ottawa's trade conflict with China is escalating.
Chinese authorities have said they intend to impose a hefty tariff of about 76% on shipments of canola, a move that triggered a sharp drop in canola futures.
Canola, also known as rapeseed, represents the biggest cash crop for Canadian farmers.
China said a probe by the country's Commerce Department concluded that a surge of Canadian canola shipments had harmed China's domestic rapeseed business.
Canadian officials rejected China's allegation that their farmers dump canola onto the Chinese market and were disappointed by the decision, adding that they are prepared to talk with their counterparts in Beijing to address trade concerns.
Meanwhile, Canadians have found an easy target to hit back at President Trump's trade tariffs.
American booze.
Canada first started pulling US-made alcohol from shelves earlier this year when Trump first applied a 25% tariff on Canadian goods that aren't compliant with the USMCA trade pact.
Journal reporter Vipal Monga says the boycott is costing American distillers and vineyards millions in lost sales.
But Vipal says that while many Canadians are boycotting U.S.
alcohol out of a sense of patriotism, others are happy to stock up.
Canadian goods not compliant with the USMCA are currently subject to 35% tariffs.
While providing few details on where the trade impasse is at, Prime Minister Mark Carney has consistently pointed out that about 85% of trade with the US is tariff-free under that trade deal.
And that's it for What's News for this Wednesday morning.
Today's show was produced by Daniel Bach.
Our supervising producer is Sandra Kilhoff.
