Julia Hughes, president at the U.S. Fashion Industry Association, said: “I think the debate offered insight last night into each candidate’s positions, but the one issue where there really is no difference between them continues to be trade policy. Our members continue to be disappointed that both candidates are focusing on the negative perception of trade and not looking at the positive impact on the economy, but to be honest there was no new discussion on that last night.”
Hughes said she expects the anti-trade rhetoric to continue until Election Day.
