WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "The leader of the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said the deal set the stage for a "free and fair" U.S. trade policy by incorporating enforceable labor and environmental standards into bilateral trade deals. Кавычки очень в тему.

Если нам предлагают купить дешевую машину, а мы ничего такого в ответ не предлагаем, это по отношению к нам несправедливо, поскольку предоставляет продавцу односторонний доступ к нашему кошельку. Конгресс нас защитит!

The deal announced on Thursday includes a binding commitment for the United States and its four free-trade partners to abide by five core International Labor Organization standards, such as the right to organize and bargain collectively and the regulation of child labor.
