March 11, 2020 ‘NAFTA Killed Our Jobs!’ Joe Biden Gets a Taste of What’s To Come in Michigan

Joe Biden was confronted in Michigan by protesters last night over his decades-long support for America-last trade policies that gutted working-class jobs across America. "NAFTA killed our jobs!" read one sign raised by protesters at Biden’s event. "Biden betrayed workers!" read another.

They're right: For decades, Joe Biden supported disastrous trade deals that cost millions of American manufacturing jobs and decimated America's blue-collar economy. He made promises to renegotiate NAFTA, only to break them and revert to the status quo as soon as he got the chance.

President Trump promised voters in 2016 he would fight to renegotiate America’s broken trade deals and put American workers first.

He kept his promise, negotiating a new United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) deal that will create over 176,000 new jobs, pump $68 billion into the U.S. economy, and protect dairy farmers, auto workers, and boost U.S. farm exports.



President Trump also successfully negotiated a historic Phase 1 trade deal with China that makes American workers competitive again.

If Biden becomes Democrats’ nominee, the choice for workers in Michigan and across the country will be clear: a Washington politician with a decades-long record of making empty promises to American workers, or a President who always puts America First and has a proven record of promises made and promises kept.
