Unfortunately, the recently-released objectives indicate the Trump Administration instead intends to double down on provisions that keep working families and small-scale farmers marginalized and instead use NAFTA to boost the profits of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.

Kost https://fairworldproject.org/nafta-objectives-confirm-intent-for-unfair-trade/#comment-3021 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:20:05 +0000 https://fairworldproject.org/?p=10754#comment-3021 I agree that mitigation and reversal of damage done to millions of farmers and working families in all three nations over the last two decades need URGENTLTY addressed. Why are working families and small-scale farmers being marginalized? This just isn’t fair. FAIR TRADE is what’s fair. Please address and make the changes to/for this group of people that is sorely needed. Compassion in business seems to be missing. I agree that the top objectives for any new or revised trade policies should be inclusion of all stakeholders, transparency of negotiations, building sustainable agriculture systems, and insuring dignified livelihoods for all. The new trade objectives include none of these priorities. WHY? WHY? WHY isn’t the government protecting these people? Where’s the LOVE? LOVE DOES belong in business! Put it back and see everyone succeed.

Top objectives for any new or revised trade policies should be inclusion of all stakeholders, transparency of negotiations, building sustainable agriculture systems, ensuring dignified livelihoods for all, and meaningfully addressing the climate crisis. Unfortunately the new trade objectives include none of these priorities.

Say No to NAFTA that puts corporate rights before democracy, environment and transparency to the people.

The Trump administration needs to focus on benefit to the working class people this country is so dependent upon and not on further lining the pockets of the wealthiest. As well, NAFTA needs to be a win/win for the people from all participating countries
