2019 Town Hall: on Free Trade


Cory Booker: Labor & environment should be at center of every trade deal

Everything that I do will be done through a green lens in the urgency of climate change. So every lever that I have on foreign policy-- Number one, I see our president meeting with world leaders. I mean, he meets with Putin and won't even bring up the fact that he's attacking our elections right now but that soft power you can make it a priority [with] everybody you talk with. You have billion of dollars of foreign aid going to countries all around this planet that should be contingent on doing things on climate. You have your trade deals: labor and climate should be the center of any trade deal we do right now. You have alliances as well.
