She added, “I would not have voted for NAFTA, because I believe we can do a better job to protect American workers.”

Trump signed the deal last November with a proposed six-month timeline for Congress to take it up. Democratic congressional leaders are pushing for the agreement to include stronger labor and environmental protections.
