Bernie Sanders, others on political left push Trump to maintain NAFTA hard line
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is being encouraged to stay strong in NAFTA negotiations by people who aren’t normally his allies.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and other members of the anti-NAFTA left held a news conference Wednesday on Capitol Hill where they demanded that the president keep his promise to drastically overhaul the agreement.
They held their event as negotiators from the three countries met in Washington.
“We are here today to send a very loud and clear message to Donald Trump: for once in your life keep your promises,” said Sanders, a Vermont senator and former presidential contender.
