State of Ohio secondary Archives: on Free Trade


JD Vance: Trump scrapped terrible trade deals, and he was right

Our country used to value working class jobs, and then the manufacturing base of our economy was shipped overseas. I'll fight the corporate elites who want to continue the status quo. President Trump scrapped terrible trade deals and renegotiated them, imposing punitive tariffs on companies that manufacture in China and other nations. These were the right policies, and the effort to rebuild our industrial base is only beginning.

Matt Dolan: Trade deals must protect workers, American innovation

I will oppose any trade deal that does not protect our workers, manufacturing and American innovation.

Long before communist China unleashed a virus on the world, they were cheating on trade, stealing our intellectual property and wreaking havoc on our foreign policy aims.
