That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.

I am a firm believer in free but fair trade. However the United States should not be on the losing end of trade agreements that are not enforced. It is time that we make China play fairly.

I'm quite an advocate of free trade.

I'm not opposed to free trade if it's fair trade. But I am opposed to bad trade deals.

Likewise, free trade does not, as evidenced in CAFTA, mean fair trade.

We need to move back toward a free market.

Let's start getting some free trade agreements started as soon as we can. We need to get on with it; we need to get a grip and make progress.

Free trade is very important if we respect equality among nations.

To open up new markets and create American jobs, we need to make global bilateral free trade agreements a priority as they were under the Clinton administration.

Unfair trade agreements, passed by both Republicans and Democrats, have sent millions of jobs to other countries. We need to stop this hemorrhaging and find ways for American workers to compete in the new market.
