(17,382 posts)4. Bernie Sanders: Tells Trump to Keep His Promise on Nafta
Maybe this is Trump bowing down to pressure from Bernie Sanders and his millions of followers on trade and Russia sanctions?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/03/31/bernie-sanders-pledges-rewrite-disastrous-trade-deals/82473012/
Along with NAFTA, Sanders said he also would rewrite CAFTA, permanent normal trade relations with China, and the Korean Free Trade Agreement.
He didnt specify what changes he would make but said U.S. workers shouldn't be forced to compete against people making pennies an hour. He also criticized deals that lead corporations to move to countries such as China where there are virtually no environmental standards compared to the U.S.
That is not fair competition, he said.
His campaign says Sanders also would impose countervailing tariffs on imports from China and Japan until they stop dumping steel into the United States and stop manipulating their currencies.

Bernie Sanders Tells Trump to Keep His Promise on Nafta
President Donald Trump is finding an unlikely ally in his efforts to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement: the political left.
Civil-society groups, union leaders and left-wing politicians have opposed almost everything Trump has done. But theyre urging him to stand firm in his attempt to overhaul Nafta -- and face down opposition from business groups, who complain that U.S. companies will be hurt by the proposed changes. Mexico and Canada have called U.S. demands unworkable, including on regional-content requirements for cars and investor-state dispute systems.
Senator Bernie Sanders, an outspoken critic of trade deals in his campaign for president last year, called on Trump to deliver. When Donald Trump campaigned for president, he promised that he was going to stop corporations from shifting American jobs to Mexico, Sanders said Wednesday at a rally for the #ReplaceNafta movement in Washington. For once in your life, keep your promises.
