Feb 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. is discussing whether to add

Chinese ecommerce retailers Shein and Temu to the Department of

Homeland Security's (DHS) 'forced labor' list, Semafor reported

on Tuesday.

The Trump administration has not made a final decision on

the matter and could ultimately decide not to list either, the

report said, citing two sources familiar with the discussions.

The move comes after China imposed targeted tariffs on U.S.

imports and put several companies, including Alphabet Inc's ( GOOG )

Google, on notice for possible sanctions, in a

measured response to U.S. President Donald Trump's levies, which

came into effect on Tuesday.

DHS, Temu, which is a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce

company PDD Holdings ( PDD ), and Singapore-headquartered Shein,

did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
