Trump, AFL-CIO’s Trumka to give dueling trade speeches Tuesday

On Wednesday’s episode of The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly confronted presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump about comments Hillary Clinton, his likely Democratic opponent, made at a campaign event in Los Angeles earlier that day.

Trump is blasting existing free trade deals and reiterating his pledge to label China a currency manipulator.

“The question is, what do you do about it?”

He also said following the deadly Brussels terror attacks in March that if he were commander-in-chief, “waterboarding would be fine”, adding, “If they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding”. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, hours before Trump spoke. As of 2016, the US has retaken the lead with 40 percent while China sits in second with 35 percent.

In his speech in Bangor, Maine, on June 29, he charged President Clinton with the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News, doubled down on his criticism of USA trade policies while making clear he’s not backing down from a simmering feud with the Chamber of Commerce over the issue. Trump, who has advocated trade protectionism and temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States, records his highest ratings in Europe among supporters of political parties that are anti-immigration or oppose European integration.

Before Trump clinched the nomination, McCain said he would support the Republican party’s choice for the 2016 race.

Fratto said that makes the move all the more noteworthy – and potentially damaging to Trump.

Billionaire Republican donor Paul Singer, who bankrolled an effort to try to defeat Trump during the campaign’s nominating phase, said on June 29 that a Trump presidency and his trade positions would nearly certainly lead to a global depression. While NAFTA has created millions of U.S.jobs, over 600,000 American workers have been displaced, and many industries that stayed in the USA had to reduce wages to remain competitive with low-wage rivals overseas. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, accused Trump of investing in companies that have shipped jobs overseas.

At a rally later Tuesday, Trump declared that TPP had been “done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country”.

“Even under best-case scenario, Trump’s tariffs would strip us of at least 3.5 million jobs”, the national chamber Tweeted during Trump’s Pennsylvania speech. They asked those polled, concerning both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, how much confidence they had in each respective presidential candidate to do the “right thing regarding world affairs”. “We need the veterans back in there”.

Morici said the US must renegotiate its current trade agreements, and that doing so would create millions of jobs.

“The Chamber has long supported advancing and expanding trade, including TPP”, she wrote.

Dollar, along with other economists, said there was no backdoor in the TPP agreement for China to enter through, and praised the proposal as one made among a group of countries with which the US has relatively balanced trade and promotes good jobs.

“After all, 95% of the world’s consumers now live outside America’s borders, representing almost limitless expansion opportunities for US businesses and entrepreneurs”.

“It is important to note this was due to decreasing sales due to the technology shift to LED lighting, not free trade agreements”, according to Glen Gracia, corporate communications manager for Osram Sylvania.

“I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has not yet been ratified,”he said”.

Holmes quickly followed up to signal that the Chamber’s criticism of Trump’s trade positions won’t soon be ending.
