this is very, very complicated, and books have and will continue be written about this, but part of nafta, north american free trade agreement, which was a kind of air to the green revolution, and more in the current memory, because as in the '90s, part of nafta was essentially saying, everybody in the world should be growing what they grow best and selling that pic and as it happened no one grows corn better than the united states. no one grows more corn penetrated. so some mexicans rely on corn a staple and who grew most of it themselves in the form of agriculture that is sustainable and was, in fact, largely supported or to some extent by government policy, mexicans were forced to choose between buying locally grown, well grown corn for their tortillas at three timess the price of corn that s imported from the united states, or not. the upshot of that was many mexican farmers were forcedha to sell or give up their lands, and fleeing north looking for work, or to wait for the united states or other countries to establish factories in mexico where labor costs are lower so people could fi

it's no secret to you that my focus continues to be the new nafta. the deal was supposed to break government-connected protection unions. i read the words of the debates and you don't have to be a wizard, which i'm not, to understand that that was a major focus of many of our remarks. and their crooked corporate connections, because they've escaped from these discussions over the past ten years, what's the responsibility of the corporations in how we deal with one another? and they need to stand up and take the responsibility somewhat with us. and i hope during your tenure that you will not be a mouthpiece for any administration, but give us your independent thoughts. they've been pretty good in the past. i'll rely on those. there have been over 830 votes since this deal was signed. only two protection unions have been overturned. two in one year. that is less than one-half of 1%. there are continued reports of intimidation, of harassment, retaliation. in fact, we know that in one of the unions, the attorney was not only fired but harassed, et cetera

trump at that time was threatening that if congress didn't agree to usmca, he was going to get rid of nafta. and that would have totally upended 0 -- 20 years of relationships. that was a serious threat. the republican congress, they agreed to a lot in the usmca negotiation, including getting rid of the pharmaceutical ipr protections to must-haves in the tpp where the republicans were not happy that obama brought home with the other 11 asian countries. >> again, i think there are unique circumstances there and there's a lot we can learn from the usmca. as we develop this worker centric trade policy, we develop ideas off our trading partners so we don't lock ourselves into a policy that's dead on arrival with key trading partners. that's a long answer. sorry. >> it's fantastic. i'm going to turn it over to wendy ashford, who will take questions from the audience. >> thanks, nick. thank you, wendy. this has been an interesting conversation. please, if you would like to submit a question for wendy, please do so by putting it into the q & a function here on zoom. and we look forward to seeing a

we've done it in nafta. maybe there's a more comprehensive way of acknowledging this. that think the first place to look is our shared border. we have about 120 border crossings. i think we should take a look at new technologies to make that border much more flexible. i think the other way to look at this is the u.s. is going to look at industrial policy for the first time in a long time. i would encourage the united states to look at canada to be part of that supply chain. out of the national security of doing things together, 80% of the canadian population lives within miles of the u.s. border. this is our most important ally. >> our many thanks to bruce heyman. coming up, pricing pressure. how today's ppi adds to the idea that inflation is booming. we will discuss that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ kailey: this is bloomberg markets. the biggest within that index but the market as a whole is trying to get its head around the inflation we've seen over the last two days. the ppi rose more than expected in april. joining is now is senior economist. we know inflation

because that count administration version of the new nafta deal simply wasn't strong enough to ensure enforcement to protect american jobs. those analysis week are taking on classic labor violations such as firing or harassing workers to organize all legitimate vote on bargaining agreements that is a threat to workers everywhere and across the country because that is part of the race to the bottom on workers rights they can have questions as the ambassador speaks today and other areas of trade enforcement implementation. and then leading negotiations with intellectual property with the covid-19 vaccine. entering negotiations on ip labor was the right decision the biden administration is working to get shots in the arms across the country in cases are dropping that new coronavirus variance clearly shows a danger was there are terrible outbreaks around the world. my view the system includes ip protections and exceptions that promotes the common good to squash the virus as quickly as possible around the world the labor negotiations are an important step. but as the ambassador and i have

that was from trump and nafta ii and the increase in lumber from canada, the increase in gas from texas and some of the other countries that we get oil from, so that was not joe biden's fault, but prices are going up, i agree, but not because of joe biden, and i really feel for everybody who has had such a hard time in the last year, year and a half. i have been extremely fortunate my job was not based or affected at all by covid other than that i got to work from home. host: what do you do, kathleen? caller: i work for a government contractor. host: and you don't see any type of slow down during the pandemic? caller: the slowdown that we saw was because the government was off and some of the work that they were doing either stopped or was slowed down considerably. host: and what was it like moving from working in an office to working at home? did your personal expenses go up or down working from home? caller: way down, way down. we don't have to spend money for gasoline. of course, eating out if i am at work. things have that nature -- things of that nature. so i enjoy working from hom

and i proposed this new system some time ago because the trump administration's version of the new nafta deal simply wasn't strong enough to ensure enforcement to protect american jobs. the new petition and actions announced this week are taking on what really are classic labor violations in mexico such as firing or harassing workers who try to organize and failing to ensure legitimate general motors on bargaining agreements. that sort of abuse is a threat to workers everywhere, including in my home state of organize and across the country because it is part of the race to the bottom on workers' rights. the committee will have questions, as i know the ambassador expects today, and there will are will be questions on other areas of trade enforcement implementation. finally ustr is going to be leading negotiations dealing with intellectual property and the covid-19 vaccines. entering negotiations on an ip waiver was the right decision. the biden administration's working hard to get shots in arms across the country, and covid-19 cases are dropping in many areas. however, now coronavirus var
