U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin sent a letter to President Donald Trump today following his executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and announcement of his intentions to begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
"You have made promises to change our economic and trade policies to help workers struggling to get ahead. I share this goal and I have worked throughout my career to stand up to powerful interests in Washington that support the flawed trade and economic policies that put special interests ahead of workers. I support taking a new approach to trade deals. We need to crack down on countries like China when they cheat American workers, we need policies that keep jobs here at home instead of encouraging outsourcing, and we need a strong "Buy America' plan that requires tax dollars for public infrastructure projects go to American businesses and workers instead of foreign companies." Senator Baldwin wrote to the President.
