Sánchez, Doggett call for Biden Administration to reform the CAFTA-DR trade agreement
March 21, 2024
Doing so would address root causes of migration & prevent harmful corporate overreach
WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) and Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), two senior Members of the Ways & Means Committee, led 45 of their colleagues in calling on the Biden Administration to work to remove the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism from the Central America – Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). Foreign companies have used ISDS to deter democratically elected CAFTA-DR governments from implementing new policies that uplift democratic sovereignty, strengthen labor rights, and protect the environment. |
