Iowa Fair Trade Campaign Position: Commit to oppose the current direction of the WTO Doha Round and to call for a new direction in global trade talks to prioritize protections for workers, the poor, health and the environment, and to ensure that global trade rules do not undermine the ability of governments to regulate in the public interest.

"Our more than decade-long experience with the WTO and its agreements evidences too many negative outcomes domestically and other nations around the world for us to agree to expand the WTO’s authority as currently proposed in the Doha Round. As a nation, we need to let our WTO trading partners with which we have material trade deficits know that that the current WTO constructs are simply not working. We need to focus on fixing these rules and the protocols under which challenges are made and decisions are rendered."
