Bernie Sanders Slams Trump For Not Being Tougher on Mexico Trade

[TomCADem]

I think Bernie Sanders is distinguishing himself from the Democratic field by being even more tough on trade deals and Mexico than Trump. Here attacking Trump for not being tough enough on Mexico, as well as China. A five percent tariff on Mexico ? Bernie should pledge a 25 percent tariff on Mexico and China!

Bernie Sanders Has a Message for Trump on Trade

As workers’ rights have become a focus for the 2020 presidential campaigns, Senator Bernie Sanders has called on President Donald Trump to protect those rights in the deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but whether that can happen and if it will be a boon for agricultural and auto workers in the U.S. remains to be seen.

Sanders was speaking at Macomb Community College in Warren, Mich., at a campaign rally on April 13 when he said “the NAFTA treaty that Trump re-negotiated with Mexico will still allow companies like General Motors to send our jobs to Mexico.”

Sanders issued a challenge to the president: “For once in your life, keep your campaign promises…go back to the drawing board.” He implored the president not to send the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to Congress without ensuring there are “strong and swift” measures to keep jobs from leaving the country.

In October 2018, Trump announced the new agreement after a year of several rounds of talks between the parties to replace the estimated $24.8 trillion NAFTA. The talks were not without their problems as Trump was publicly tweeting statements like: “Trade Wars are good and easy to win.”

1. When Corporate America can

make more money outsourcing their Manufacturing to Mexico or any other Country via the Tax Code,it ain't going to change. Money has no loyalty to any Sovereign Country,only loyalty is to the Corporate Board of Directors of that Corporation and Wall Street.

3. Bernie is even more of a protectionist than Trump.

Being anti trade doesn't work in the modern world. Bernie's economic ideas are a poorly interpreted mix of 1930s of socialism and protectionism.
