This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This part is called: 🇺🇸 Advancing American Interests:
Global Economy and Trade
🇺🇸 Only one party will fight for every American job and will make sure American workers have a fair shot in the global economy. 1/8

#Democrats will fight for every American job and will make sure American workers have a fair shot in the global economy. 2/8 #AmericanWorkers

#Democrats will not negotiate any new trade deals before first investing in American competitiveness at home. We will aggressively enforce existing trade laws and agreements. 4/8 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanWorkers

And #Democrats will insist on strong and enforceable standards for labor, human rights, and the environment in any future trade agreements, so that they build the American middle class, create jobs, raise wages, and strengthen our communities. 5/8 #DemPartyPlatform

#Democrats will use all tools at our disposal to take action against countries that steal American intellectual property or manipulate their currencies to get an unfair advantage in international markets. 6/8 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanWorkers

#Democrats believe that if the United States does not work with its allies and partners to shape the terms of global trade, China will shape them for us—and American working families and the middle class will pay the price. 7/8 #DemPartyPlatform #AmericanWorkers

That’s why #Democrats will work with our allies to mobilize more than half the world’s economy to stand up to China and negotiate from the strongest possible position. 8/8 #DemPartyPlatform #InternationalTrade
