Un mensaje importante del economista Joseph E. Stiglitz antes del próximo referendum en Ecuador.

Hoy junto con 300 profesores de economía y derecho estadounidenses pidieron al Presidente Biden que eliminara el arbitraje internacional de los tratados existentes.

Pro-consumer, pro-worker, and pro-democracy regulation is not a trade barrier!

I applaud Ambassador Katherine Tai for aligning the NTE report released today with President Biden’ priorities on competition, protecting consumers, and supporting workers.

My statement on the latest National Trade Estimates Report released today👇

The climate crisis is too urgent for the U.S. or any country to allow outdated trade rules — written long before governments were taking climate change seriously — to distract us from enacting bold climate policies.

Thank you for your leadership Rep. Linda Sánchez and Lloyd Doggett!

The USTR's National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE report), due this month, is expected to omit its usual criticism of trade partners’ online privacy and competition regulation.

Let's talk about it.🧵

Developing countries fighting for access to medicine suffer harassment by rich countries home to patent-holding pharma giants.

Thx 🇨🇴

We STILL have not heard from WTO and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on what accredited, badge-holding NGO reps are permitted to do at #MC13 .

People came here from far away to represent workers and their communities. They're scared they'll be arrested simply for sharing info w/ delegates and press.

What is your response to this, @WTO Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala ?

It's morning of Day Two, and NGO representatives need to know if they will be arrested simply for sharing information with delegates and reporters.
