This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This section is called: Building A Fair System of International Trade for Our Worker. Only one party has a specific plan for rebuilding the great American #MiddleClass. ..the other has a loyalty pledge to a lying con man. 1/11

For too long, the global trading system has failed to keep its promises to American workers. Too many corporations have rushed to outsource jobs, and too many countries have broken their promises to be honest and transparent partners. 2/11 #DemPartyPlatform #GlobalTrade

The #COVID19 pandemic has shown the risks of relying too heavily on global supply chains, as shutdowns and shortages have created chaos for workers and consumers and made our public health response even more challenging. 3/11 #DemPartyPlatform #Shutdowns

The Trump Admin has failed time after time to deliver for American workers, siding with corporate interests over our workers & launching a trade war w/China that they have no plan for winning;creating incredible hardship for US farmers, manufacturers, workers, and consumers 4/11

#Democrats will pursue a trade policy that puts workers first. We will negotiate strong and enforceable standards for labor, human rights, and the environment in the core text of our trade deals. 5/11 #DemPartyPlatform #TradePolicy #HumanRights

Future trade agreements should build on the pro-labor provisions added to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) by Democratic members of Congress.6/11 #DemPartyPlatform #TradePolicy #USMCA

Dems will take aggressive action against China or any other country that tries to undercut US manufacturing by manipulating their currencies &maintaining a misaligned exchange rate w/the dollar,dumping products like steel &aluminum in our markets,or providing unfair subsidies 7/

#Democrats will eliminate President Trump’s tax and trade policies that encourage big corporations to ship jobs overseas and evade paying their fair share of taxes. 9/11 #DemPartyPlatform #TaxEvasion

If companies shut down their operations here and outsource jobs, #Democrats will claw back any public investments or benefits they received from taxpayers. 10/11 #DemPartyPlatform #outsourcing

#Democrats will take immediate action to repair the damage President Trump’s reckless policies have done to American farmers, by working with our allies to stand up to China and negotiate from the strongest possible position. 11/11 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanFarmers
