The question is how best to do that. Trade is a great deal for Americans. Because U.S. farmers, workers and companies are ready and able to compete globally, they will make good use of improved access to the growing market beyond U.S. borders. And since U.S. trade barriers are already relatively low, Americans have the most to gain as others' barriers come down more. Americans also gain by giving more market access to other countries, which gives U.S. consumers more choice and value.
More trade is better for the folks back home than less trade.
Let's cut this trade emergency short and get back to the negotiating table.
