Situation: Public Question at Event in Glenwood, IA
Question: NAFTA has failed for the US and our trading partners. It has sent family-supporting jobs offshore and fuels environmental damage. NAFTA grants extra rights to foreign investors, bans Buy-America initiatives, and limits our ability to inspect for the safety of children’s toys or the food supply. Will you commit to review and potentially renegotiate NAFTA and to remove these anti-democratic provisions?
Answer: “Yes. I support Fair Trade not Free Trade…”
