Replace NAFTA and the So-Called ‘Free Trade’ Model with a Fair Way Forward (The TRADE Act) | Ideas f

BUILDUSMAXIMUS
Past free trade pacts such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are not actually free, and have come at great costs. The price we’ve paid for the abuse of human rights, offshoring of jobs, downward pressure on wages, destruction of our environment and loss of family farms is far too great.

Trade agreements should serve a majority of people on issues such as public health, the environment, human rights, food and consumer safety and access to essential services. Instead, these "free trade" policies, along with others put forth in the World Trade Organization (WTO), have merely worked to serve corporate interests and profit margins.
