NAFTA and TPP were a plan to steal America’s wealth and send it to other countries . NAFTA worked great for them not USA.
TPP was worse. Trump stopped TPP

Trump is right on that too. He has to correct those and have leverage.

He’s right about that and about the multilateral trade deals that are really post-national superstructures.

But tariffs are a bad idea. Among other things, protectionism in the past gave us fatty, uncompetitive industries like our auto and steel industries in the ‘70s.

Bilateral, fair, free trade deals are the way to go.

Cruz wouldn’t have killed TPP.
