For the first time, an American trade agreement is including sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) language. Congressman Lamborn (CO-05) issued the following statement: "I am deeply disappointed that the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative bowed to Canada's wishes in including SOGI language for the first time in a trade deal. While the language has been modified to try to limit the force of the language, the fact that it included at all is unacceptable. This step is entirely out of sync with President Trump's good work in undoing troubling Obama-era regulations and policies. Congress should decide social policy, including issues of civil rights, protected classes, and workplace rights. Instead, unelected bureaucrats and foreign leaders are forcing SOGI policy on us. This is an assault on United States sovereignty and a dangerous precedent for future trade agreements."
