Ask President Trump to clarify his trade goals Retweet
Last week, we launched a campaign asking for unilateral free trade. We made some powerful arguments… 
- So-called fair trade is a fraud – a cover story for cronyism.
- Hong Kong and Singapore got rich through unilateral free trade. So can the U.S.
- The poorest countries have the highest tariffs. Trade barriers cause poverty.
- History shows that higher tariffs do NOT work as levers to negotiate freer trade later.
Today’s action relates to that last point. How do we know what Trump really wants?
- Does he think he can use his trade war to negotiate lower trade barriers later, or…
- Is he really just an old-fashioned protectionist?
More importantly, what is YOUR strategy?
If you want unilateral free trade then you should use our contact system to ask the politicians to give you that. Or…
If unilateral is too radical for you, but you really do want free trade, then you should use our system ask President Trump to…
- Make it clear that his goal really is free trade, by constantly saying so
- Speed-up negotiations so as to limit the damage caused by his current trade war
In other words, President Trump should repeatedly stress the comments he made at the end of the G7 summit when he advocated ending all trade barriers and subsidies.
We have a new campaign that does exactly that. Go review our letter to President Trump. Send it if you agree with it, or put it in your own words.
Help us achieve our goals for this week…
