Nafta failed American workers. Here's how Trump can fix our trade woes | Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur

Workers in the midwest cite trade as a top reason they supported Donald Trump's candidacy. Here's what he can do to listen to their concerns

Sunday signaled the completion of a major milestone: the end of the first round of negotiations to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). Canada, Mexico and the US are set to meet over multiple rounds in the coming months.

Too frequently I have heard the mantra "do no harm" from industry leaders as they encourage Donald Trump's negotiations. I take a different stand, as I have since Nafta was signed into law 23 years ago. This is an opportunity to do right by workers across the continent. This moment must not be squandered by pandering to transnational special interests. Some of us in Congress, and many workers throughout our heartland, have been waiting for this moment for years.
