<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">Today’s release of the Trump administration’s objectives for re-negotiating NAFTA confirm the suspicions of fair trade advocates that President Donald Trump
would break his promise to create trade deals that are in the public interest. The negotiating objectives, which failed to incorporate input from civil society organizations despite detailed and extensive proposals, continue the administration’s trend of putting
multinational corporations’ narrow interests first by using the same blueprint that shaped the failed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Candidate Trump railed against the TPP: Trump negotiators plan to incorporate TPP text into NAFTA 2.0.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">The negotiating objectives mention nothing about restoring vastly popular Country of Origin Labeling laws, which let people know where their meat comes from, and gives only lip
service is paid to the vastly unpopular Investor State Dispute Settlement that subverts the judicial system by creating corporate friendly international tribunals of lawyers. The Agriculture, Sanitary and Phytosanitary, and Service chapter objectives are the
same as <i>for the</i> TPP. The elimination of Chapter 19 will ensure that dumping of commodities (illegal for industrial goods) occurs unchecked
<i>by countervailing duties</i>. <i>Most frustratingly, the objectives will do nothing to incentivize food production that will protect the livelihoods of farmers, the safety of consumers, or the health of the planet.<o:p></o:p></i></span></strong></p>

of NAFTA’s failed policies for farmers. Agriculture policy that has incentivized dumping (exporting at below the cost of production, an unfair trading practice banned for industrial goods) has driven US crop oversupply and low prices, consolidating corporate
concentration in agriculture and weakening rural economies. Dumping has driven Mexican farmers off their land, leading many of them to seek work in the U.S. under precarious conditions. As earlier IATP research has shown, NAFTA led to dramatic changes in Mexico’s
food system, essentially serving to export the U.S. obesity problem to Mexico, with
