Question: Senator Clinton was asked what she would do to help reinvigorate the country’s rural areas.
Answer (in part): Senator Clinton said America’s rural areas would benefit from new trade deals that include “good standards for labor and environmental protection.” She also mentioned we’d need to ensure “strong enforcement mechanism, to enforce Country of Origin Labeling, and to close loopholes that give tax breaks to companies that go overseas.”
