America Left Behind
Nearly 300 free trade agreements (FTAs) are in force around the globe today, but the United States has FTAs with just 17 countries.
More than 100 additional FTAs are currently under negotiation among our trading partners, but the United States is participating in just one of these.
As President Obama has said, “If America sits on the sidelines while other nations sign trade deals, we will lose the chance to create jobs on our shores.” That’s exactly what’s happening: American workers are being left behind.
