Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites: on Free Trade

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Industry ruined by 40 years of misguided free trade schemes

We will rebuild the industrial infrastructure, ruined by forty years of off-shoring and misguided "free trade" schemes. We will enact policies that favor small and medium businesses, which are the nation's real job creators and the dynamos of American enterprise. We will support labor in reclaiming its fair share of American prosperity. We will break up "too-big-to-fail" banks and monopolies, and when crisis strikes, bail out the homeowners, debtors, and small business owners instead.

Stephen Laffey: Why are we still trading with Communist China?

America's trade relationship with Communist China has hurt Americans' wages.
It has allowed China to build up its military as it works to supplant America as the world's superpower.
It has cost Americans millions of jobs.
It has not led to democracy, or respect for intellectual property, or bestowed human rights on individuals in China.
It has made worse America's budget deficit.
Why are we still trading with Communist China?

Kamala Harris: Stand up to China's unfair practices to protect US workers

Vice President Harris will make sure that America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century and that we strengthen, not abdicate, our global leadership. She will invest in the competitive advantages that make America the strongest nation on Earth--American workers, innovation, and industry--and will work to ensure America remains a leader in the industries of the future, from semiconductors to clean energy to artificial intelligence. She has stood up to China's unfair economic practices to protect American workers, businesses, and families. And she has advanced our economic cooperation around the world, from rallying international leaders at an AI summit in the UK, to convening semiconductor business leaders in East Asia, to spurring private investment across Africa.
