IATP works closely with U.S. and international partners to transform the negotiation and implementation of trade deals. IATP opposes trade deals that lock out public debate and oversight. Trade agreements should promote exchanges of the highest quality goods and services; be negotiated transparently and be democratically accountable within and across countries; support remunerative farms and prosperous rural communities; and protect the sustainability of natural resources and ecosystems in the U.S. and around the world.
