“For the past 30 years, we have had a series of trade deals … which have cost us millions of decent-paying jobs and caused a ‘race to the bottom’ which has lowered wages for American workers,” he said.

I include this perspective for two reasons - I was surprised that Sanders would publicly agree with Trump and I think, despite a dislike by most for Trump (me included), it should be noted that this particular move by him is probably a 50/50 type move.
