Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is coming out against President Trump's new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, claiming it fails to fix the most harmful aspects of the original pact.

"As it’s currently written, Trump’s deal won’t stop the serious and ongoing harm NAFTA [the North American Free Trade Agreement] causes for American workers," Warren says in prepared remarks for an address at the American University Law School in Washington, D.C. later Thursday."It won’t stop outsourcing, it won’t raise wages, and it won’t create jobs. It’s NAFTA 2.0."

"For example, NAFTA 2.0 has better labor standards on paper but it doesn’t give American workers enough tools to enforce those standards," she says. "Without swift and certain enforcement of these new labor standards, big corporations will continue outsourcing jobs to Mexico to so they can pay workers less.

"NAFTA 2.0 is also stuffed with handouts that will let big drug companies lock in the high prices they charge for many drugs. The new rules will make it harder to bring down drug prices for seniors and anyone else who needs access to life-saving medicine," Warren adds.

6. Warren & Sherrod Brown (Yale Econ) seem the only senators making noise over NAFTA 2.0

Another example of Trump's fake "populism" masking his global fascism. This Trump turd/con of NAFTA 2.0 needs way more public scorning.
