Trump doubted Clinton would abide by her opposition to the Pacific trade deal, predicting that, if elected, Clinton would merely revise it slightly to claim she improved it. Trump unveiled a seven-point plan that included an overt threat to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump included 128 footnotes in his prepared remarks after contentious battles with fact-checkers who found last week’s speech attacking Hillary Clinton littered with falsehoods. More than two-thirds of Trump supporters viewed free trade agreements as a bad thing, according to a Pew Research Center survey in March. Though Republican Party leaders have traditionally championed trade deals, many of their voters dislike them.
