Trade
For too long, our nation’s trade and investment policies have reflected the influence of powerful corporate interests.

They fuel a race to the bottom in living standards. That needs to change. We need policies that support good jobs at home and sustainable development abroad. We need to enforce the laws already on the books and stop blatant abuses by some countries that stack the decks against U.S. workers.
