Today, in world trade, in order to remove a barrier, we must erect a barrier. Then, remove them both. The United States has one advantage in this competition the largest, richest market in the world. We must use it to rebuild. Those that permit entry of our products will receive entry of theirs.
Reciprocity is the key.
This means that we will match the favorable treatment foreign corporations receive and aggressively enforce our dumping laws. Rather than a no-no, tariffs will be an instrument of trade policy. The fundamental duty of government is to protect. We have the army to protect from enemies without, the FBI to protect from enemies within. We have Medicare to protect from ill health and Social Security from the ravages of old age.
