The free trade deals with low income countries should be renegotiated. Obviously prez is the last one to improve them. But the part about investors being able to sue a country for lost profits if government cancels their business plans needs to be removed as well.

This is a union issue, and a human rights issue. The president co opted it, and now every dumbass liberal defends the unfair trade system because the dumbass president is crittizing it. And that's why liberal fucking lose.

Allowing foreign countries to let our corporations outsource labor and pay them starvation wages and pollute to sell those goods back here has destroyed this country, and handed the previous gains of working people back to the bosses.

There should be no tariffs on goods from countries with adequate labor, environmental, and human rights standards, candad and europe there should be none. SE asia, and mexico even, pay your workers and don't dump pollution or face penalties, is what we should want. To lift up foreign workers, not exploit them.
