Misam Abidi on Free Trade

 

 


Support fair and responsible trade

Q: Your opinion on "Support & expand free trade"?

A: Support fair and responsible trade. Trade can lower costs, open markets, and create opportunity, but trade is not successful merely because national economic statistics rise. If financial markets profit while a Tennessee community loses its factory, its wages, and its future, we cannot pretend everyone benefited. Trade agreements should protect American workers, national security, critical supply chains, labor standards, and the environment. We should trade with the world, but we should also rebuild domestic manufacturing and ensure that globalization serves people rather than allowing multinational corporations to search endlessly for the cheapest labor and weakest protections.
