““For decades, we have had a trade policy that’s been written by giant, multi-national corporations to help giant, multi-national corporations. They have no loyalty to America. They have no patriotism. If they can save a nickle by moving a job to Mexico, they’ll do it in a heartbeat. If they can continue a polluting plant by moving it to Vietnam, they’ll do it in a heartbeat. I have put out a new, comprehensive plan that says we’re not gonna do it that way. We’re going to negotiate our deals with unions at the table, with small businesses at the table, with small farmers at the table, with environmentalists at the table, with human rights activists at the table. And then, we’re gonna use the fact that everybody in the world wants to get to America’s markets. So the question is how. We need to raise our standards.””
