It's time for Democrats in Congress to start adhering to Democratic Platform!

Opened Markets All Over the World for American Products. President Obama and the Democratic Party know
that America has the best workers and businesses in the world. If the playing field is level, Americans will be able to
compete against every other country on Earth. Over the last four years, we have made historic progress toward the
goal of doubling our exports by 2015. We have taken steps to open new markets to American products, while
ensuring that other countries play by the same rules. President Obama signed into law new trade agreements with
South Korea, Colombia, and Panama that will support tens of thousands of private-sector jobs, but not before he
strengthened these agreements on behalf of American workers and businesses. We remain committed to finding
more markets for American-made goods – including using the Trans-Pacific Partnership between the United States
and eight countries in the Asia-Pacific, one of the most dynamic regions in the world – while ensuring that workers’
rights and environmental standards are upheld, and fighting against unfair trade practices. We expanded and
reformed assistance for trade-affected workers, and we demanded renewal of that help alongside new trade
agreements.
