The United States is already Mexico's largest trading partner.

Although China and United States are competitors, China and the United States are indeed partners in trade.

For decades, Japan has been a friend and reliable trading partner with the United States, and I anticipate that relationship will prosper.

China can and will be an invaluable trading partner to both the U.S. and the U.K.

Japan is an important ally of ours. Japan and the United States of the Western industrialized capacity, 60 percent of the GNP, two countries. That's a statement in and of itself.

America's largest trade deficit is with China, a nation that enjoys Permanent Normal Trade Relations with the U.S. and ties its currency to the dollar to make it a more competitive trading partner.

U.S. exports to China have more than quintupled since China entered the WTO and have grown more quickly than imports. In fact, China is America's fastest-growing export market.

The biggest trade that Germany and Britain had was with each other, in the prewar period; I think I'm right in that. Two highly industrialized nations had the most trade with each other, and it wasn't tariff policies alone that made trade relations better for both of them.

I am convinced that China needs to be a strong trading partner with the United States long term.

Germany is very free-trade oriented.
