This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.

Our trade opens to all the world.

Where opportunities to expand trade and commerce exist, we will lead, and we will partner.

I believe in just enriching the economy. And we're leaving so much on the table, 72 percent of the planet.

We have benefited greatly from the globalization of the economy in the last 30 years.

We have established a new basis in our country in which economic liberalization would continue to flourish alongside democratic forces and deregulated power structure.

When America closes its doors, so does everybody else. We are the primary engine of growth in the world and we are the only beacon of free trade left, and open markets.

Trade liberalization can be contagious, and the opening of markets regionally can spark progress multilaterally as well.

We've taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create market economies, that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world, and that it would enhance our own prosperity, and our own stability and security, as well.

I think every country has to recognize its competitive advantage and liberate its strengths to be a partner in global trade, and that's the only way you can survive and succeed.
