To our allies: bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro-free trade, pro-globalization & supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t.

It is good to know that you are anti-free trade.
I am for equitable trade. What we have and have had for some time is not free trade.
I am anti-globalist.

If we are being fucked over so badly in our trade deals how is it that there are 100 threads on this forum extolling the amazing economy we are now experiencing?
Trump got elected. That's how.

Well, now we finally agree on something.
