Warren says she will vote for Trump's USMCA trade deal

'Workers have had the legs taken out from underneath them and this agreement makes improvements,' Warren said Friday.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said Friday that she now supports President Donald Trump's renegotiated United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement because it"makes improvements."

“Workers have had the legs taken out from underneath them and this agreement makes improvements,” Warren told a Boston CBS affiliate Friday. “It’s gonna help open up some markets for farmers, they need that stability. It’s gonna help with enforceable labor standards and that’s gonna be useful.

During the December Democratic debate, Sanders quipped that though the new agreement was "a modest improvement" he wouldn't vote for it because"It is not going to stop outsourcing. It is not going to stop corporations from moving to Mexico." Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who is also running for the 2020 Democratic nomination, previously called for changes regarding the trade deal last year, but has yet to talk about his position on the bipartisan bill passed by the House.
