Trump raises questions about Bill Clinton meeting amid probe

Trump is changing the Republican agenda on trade, saying USA agreements – and its support of China’s entry into the World Trade Organization – have enabled businesses to move American jobs overseas, particularly manufacturing jobs from places like Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The Donald kicked off his anti-trade tirade during a speech in the Rust Belt town of Monessen, Pennsylvania.

“When I look at the challenges facing the American steel industry, the first three things that come to mind are China, China and China”, Paul says.

LePage has already endorsed Trump and previously appeared at a rally of his in Portland, Maine back in March.

He also said, “we have to fight fire with fire”, and “we better get smart. and we better get tough – or we are not going to have much of a country left”. “That’s what it is, too”.

Trump said the US must renegotiate NAFTA and nix the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

“Although the pause is temporary, we must find out what is going on – we have to do it”, Trump said. “The gold standard”, he said, stealing a page out of Bernie Sanders’s playbook.

As he did at his ME rally, Trump criticized NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership while assailing his rival, Hillary Clinton, and her husband for supporting what he considered faulty trade deals. “And China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization has enabled the greatest job theft in the history of our country”. But, Gracia wrote in an e-mail, the Manchester plant and others were closed “due to decreasing sales due to the technology shift to LED lighting, not any free trade agreements”. “They want to have TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the worst deals, and it will be the worst deal since Nafta”.

“If they do not agree to a renegotiation, then I will submit notice under Article 2205 of the NAFTA agreement that America intends to withdraw from the deal”, the presumptive GOP nominee added.

“Our politicians took away from the people their means of making a living and supporting their families”, Mr. Trump declared, through “a policy of globalization, moving our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas”.

Trump, the billionaire real estate magnate, has laid out a protectionist trade stance that is “unrealistic, counterintuitive, and would be damaging to our economy and jobs”, Sanders said in a statement. “We need more exports – not less”. “Nobody knows what she’s talking about”, he continued, “and you tell me, “she’s presidential”?”

A median of 59 percent in Europe have confidence in the Democratic contender – compared with just 9 percent for Trump.

“Its unfortunate that Donald Trump is Donald Trump but he’s really dead right on this issue”, said Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission. “They probably think we’re weak, we’re stupid”, he said according to MSNBC. Experts also point to the millions of jobs dependent on cross-border trade.

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.
