"when we engage in the creation of our foreign policy, we are truly disconnected from the foreign nations that it will impact and the humans who are going to be impacted by our foreign policy. And so, even as we think about capitalism and we think about our trade policies and we think about the creation of jobs and we think about the fight for unionized labor here, oftentimes when we talk about dignified workplace, we donāt connect that to be something that someone else deserves in another country. And so, when youāre thinking about Mexico or Honduras or El Salvador or any of these countries that we might ship our jobs to and have a working environment there, we donāt think about the fact that these organizations, these corporations are now going to be exploiting workers over there. Itās not just that we are losing jobs, but there is literally going to be an exploitation of workers over there."
