House Speaker Paul Ryan sought to present a united front with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on trade issues, despite their differing perspectives on international trade deals.
"He wants to get good trade agreements," Ryan told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview Wednesday. "So do I."
Ryan's remarks come shortly after Trump sharply criticized trade agreements in a speech at a western Pennsylvania Rust Belt town earlier this week, blaming globalization for having "wiped out totally, totally our middle class." Trump further called the landmark Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal that involves a "death blow for American manufacturing."

Of Trump, he added: "What I have heard from him, is that we need to engage, that we need to have very good trade agreements that are good for America. And I agree with that."
He added that he wanted "to make sure is that we don't retreat from the world, because then China and others will write the rules," saying such a stance "would be a mistake."

It would be so sweet to see Paul Rino Cantored.
It’s a long shot, but worth a try.
I agree.
Lyin Ryan, oust this establishment POS
Ryan, the scum of America and sweetheart of the GOP,
funded ObamaTRADE, ObamaCARE, Iranian NUKEs,
the importation of EV-D68 and tuberculosis
and Islamic terrorists.
Ryan, the scum of the GOP, is nothing like Mr. Trump.
Ryan should be cantored, indicted, and hopefully
will contract the diseases he forced on other innocents.
BS Free Traitor palp. He has it 180 degrees backwards.
I really don’t care about Paul Ryan’s positions on trade. Trump is the leader of the Republicans now, not Ryan.
Ryan has proven himself to a weak, cowardly House leader.
I didn’t vote for Paul Ryan. I voted for Trump.
Actually you are; Ryan, you traitor, you’d trade the US sovereignty to make a personal profit. Trump would not.
He must be getting scared. The globalist creep is trying to say he agrees with Trump....must be losing those grassroots votes.
And what about dems and independents who have nothing better to do on primary day? I assume there's a procedure where they can sign up to be 'pubs for awhile.
Even if he does win the primary (fingers crossed NOT) he'll be damaged goods. It would be an HOR seat worth losing in November if it's Ryan.
JMHO
Paul, just shut up. No one cares what you have to say.
That’s how I read it: Ryan getting scared. Also, Wisconsin has wide open primaries; Dems and Independents could vote against Ryan simply by showing up.
If Demorats cross over, it will be to vote for him, not against him.
Operation chaos.
Realizes he’s losing to Nehlen. Changes his tune.
Oh the HEAT is on ly’n Ryan. Please dear g-d let him be gone!
Ryan knows he’s fighting for his political life and wants to “reassure” us that he really does care more about the People than all that other “crap”...
If you can’t primary him, vote for the Democrat.
We can live with one more RAT in the House.
We have to start putting the fear of God into RINO leadership by firing them.
