WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Monday outlined proposals that would govern her policy on international trade, including requiring trade negotiators to disclose drafts of new trade agreements to the public.
“Trade can be a powerful tool to help working families but our failed pro-corporate agenda has used trade to harm American workers and the environment,” Warren said in a post on Medium.com announcing her trade position. Instead, his protectionist-leaning trade policies have been more aligned with the historic positions of liberal Democrats.
“For decades, big multinational corporations have bought and lobbied their way into dictating America’s trade policy,” Warren said. “Those big corporations have gotten rich but everyone else has paid the price.” Warren has outlined a set of preconditions she wants other countries to meet before entering new trade deals, including regarding labor laws and efforts to stop human trafficking.
