Elizabeth Warren in National Public Radio
On Foreign Policy:
Alliances make us stronger & better able to face China
If you wanted to push back against China, your first move would not be to pick a fight with Canada and our other allies. We have a lot of trading partners who are good allies, and we should make sure that we are working with our allies.
That's what makes us stronger internationally. And many of our allies are just as worried about China as we are. We need to be working with them as we go forward.

On Free Trade:
We need to do trading deals differently & help workers
Q: Obama wanted to unite U.S. allies against China with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but you oppose TPP, right?Warren: I think that was a trading deal that was not good for the American people and not good for the American worker.
It was a trading deal that was written in order to help giant corporations.
Over and over the United States has been negotiating one deal after another that helps giant multi-national corporations but does not help American workers, does not help
Americans small businesses, does not help American farmers. We need to do our trading deals very differently.

On Free Trade:
We need allies to stand up to China on trade issues
[Trump] is right that we have a problem with China. What he hasn't seemed to figure out is what's the strategy to deal with it. If you wanted to push back, your first move would not be to pick a fight with Canada and other allies. We have a lot
of trading partners who are good allies, and we should make sure that ... we are working with our allies. That's what makes us stronger internationally. Many of our allies are just as worried about China as we are. We need to be working with them.

On Tax Reform:
Businesses should recognize how US helped them succeed
Jeff Bezos, you had a great idea, you got out there, you worked hard. You have this great fortune. But remember, you built this fortune here in America You used workers that all of us helped pay to educate. You got your goods to market on
roads and bridges that all of us helped pay to build. You were protected by firefighters and police officers that all of us helped to pay for. When you make it really big, put a little back in the kitty so that the next kid gets a chance.

On Technology:
Amazon benefitted greatly, but put only a little back
Jeff Bezos, you had a great idea, you worked hard. But remember, you built this fortune in America. You used workers that all of us helped pay to educate. You got your goods to market on roads and bridges that all of us helped pay to build. You were
protected by firefighters and police officers that all of us helped pay for, and we're glad to do that. When you make it really big, put a little back in the kitty so that the next kid gets a chance, and the kid after that, and the kid after that.
