The Big Debate By Ayanna Evans

In this past week, thousands of people tuned into the first residential debate between democratic candidate held in Washington.  Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump.Both Clinton and Trump have made dedicated economic policy speeches in the past. One of the big issues that Trump hit Clinton with during the debate was free trade agreements, particularly , specifically  the North American Free Trade Agreement. He’s also tried to outdo Clinton by announcing a plan to spend $500 billion on infrastructure, which is one of the few areas where Republicans have advocated for government expenditures in the past debates.
Trade has been one of the central issues of Trump’s campaign. Trump continuously claimed that trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement,signed by Bill Clinton when he was president, have taken jobs from American citizens.
Clinton has been generally pro-trade throughout her career. As secretary of state she pushed through a free trade deal with South Korea, and backed the now controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership. Since then backed away from trade deals, and  won’t support any deals that cost American jobs. More topics like black lives matter, minimum wage, and taxes were also brought up in the debate by both candidates.
