Let us lead by example as a Nation, to define the rules of global competition.

we need to think about U.S. workers, not at the end of the process, but at the beginning of the process.

This is the moment for the United States to step up. We can and we must do better for our workers.

The United States does not have a trade agreement with China, so there are no standards for environmental or worker protections.

Our failure to support working families, and especially working women, has left the U.S. behind.

Climate change poses an existential threat to every living thing on this planet.

Our previous leadership was attained by having a government that bet on the American people and invested heavily in Americans.

It is not the job of the United States Government to work to boost profits of big multinationals that have no particular loyalty to the United States.

We can set the rules of this market ourselves, or we can sit back and let other countries do it.

So I love this--you know, it is fair wages, it is Davis Bacon, it is child care, fair labor standards, the ability to have a collective bargaining agreement--all of those help strengthen our workers.

U.S. trade policy needs structural reforms to ensure that it reflects the interests of all Americans, not just a handful of corporations trying to maximize short-term profits.
