Fighting for a Fairer Global Economy

As the division of Public Citizen that fights for a fairer global economy, we face unique challenges working on trade policy under Donald Trump’s presidency.

Trump has now twice won elections in part by weaponizing the very real frustrations many American voters have with their place in an increasingly complex and unequal global economy.

But instead of a real plan to uplift working people, Trump’s trade agenda is just another ploy to enrich himself and his billionaire friends.

Global Trade Watch seeks to hold Trump accountable and reveal the lie behind his faux populist claims. We will work to avoid the worst outcomes of his agenda, and where rare opportunities for progress arise, we will seize them. We will resist corporate attempts to revert to neoliberalism, and maintain our focus on creating a sustainable vision of global trade that uplifts workers across borders.
