Former President Donald Trump vowed over the weekend that would withdraw the U.S. from the Pacific trade deal currently being touted by President Joe Biden.
During a campaign event in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Trump told the audience that the new deal would cause more American jobs to be moved overseas.
“Under the next administration… the Biden plan for ‘TPP Two’ will be dead on day one,” Trump said. “It’s worse than the first one. Threatening to pulverize farmers and manufacturers with another massive globalist monstrosity designed to turbocharge outsourcing to Asia.”
Trump’s remarks come as Biden returned from revealing the trade agreement at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in California.
From The Washington Examiner:
Talks on the IPEF kicked into overdrive this past week as Biden made the framework public while leaders from pan-Asian countries gathered in San Francisco. Still, there have been hiccups in the talks, such as Vietnam and Indonesia refusing to commit to certain environmental and labor standards.
