> Arthur,
> 
> Right now, America’s foreign policy works great for giant corporations, but it leaves workers behind.
> 
> Just this week, General Motors announced that they’ll slash thousands of jobs and shut down plants across America.
> 
> Donald Trump grabbed headlines by railing against GM, but his actual policies will keep letting giant corporations put their profits ahead of American workers.
> 
> It’s time for real change – including fixing big trade deals like NAFTA, which has already cost us nearly a million good American jobs.
> 
> Donald Trump broke his promise to fix NAFTA. He’s negotiated a new version of it, but it’s just NAFTA 2.0 – a fresh coat of paint on rotting wood. It won’t stop outsourcing, raise wages, or create jobs.
> 
> I explained why I oppose NAFTA 2.0 in a speech today about how we need a foreign policy that works for all Americans. Take a look, and share it with your friends on Facebook. <http://my.elizabethwarren.com/page/m/2852c6f8/45a8e08f/f81a5e72/66ae6137/3281317005/VEsE/>

> Unless Donald Trump gets a better deal for America’s working families, I’ll vote against NAFTA 2.0 in the Senate. Here’s just some of what’s wrong with NAFTA 2.0:
> 
> On paper, it’s got better labor standards, but it doesn’t give American workers enough tools to enforce those standards – which means big corporations will continue outsourcing jobs to Mexico so they can pay workers less.
> 
> It’s 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.
> 
> It does little to reduce pollution or combat the dangers of climate change – giving American companies one more reason to close their factories here and move to Mexico where the environmental standards are lower. That’s bad for the earth and bad for American workers.
> We need a new approach to trade, and it should begin with a simple principle: our policies shouldn’t prioritize corporate profits over American paychecks.
> 
> We need to give workers a seat at the negotiating table, strengthen labor standards around the world, make it possible to enforce the parts of trade deals that help workers, reduce the power of multinational monopolies with serious antitrust enforcement, and crack down on tax havens.
> 
> Fixing bad trade deals like NAFTA matters for working people – and it matters for our democracy. If the rich just keep getting richer, people will just keep losing faith in the idea that democracy can deliver results.
> 
> With democracy under assault around the world, we need to fight to get our government working for all working people – not just the rich and the powerful. Together, that’s what we’ll keep fighting for.
> 
> Thanks for being a part of this,

You can watch the full speech I gave today <http://my.elizabethwarren.com/page/m/2852c6f8/45a8e08f/f81a5e72/66ae6136/3281317005/VEsC/> – about how we must defend democracy, set new rules for global capitalism in the 21st century, cut our bloated defense budget, bring our troops home from Afghanistan, reinvest in diplomacy, and recognize that policies that undermine American working families also erode America’s strength in the world.
