Christopher Reed on Free Trade

Republican challenger

NAFTA harms the US

Q: What is your view on NAFTA and other free trade agreements as a whole?

A: Whatever the original intentions behind NAFTA, I think it only serves to harm the United States. The United States is the best in the world. We have the best workers, the most creative minds and best companies in the world. We cannot keep exporting our labor and manufacturing out of the country if we are going to stay on top of the world. We must keep Americans doing the work if we want to stay there.
