THE TRUMP PLAN “America has always been a trading nation. Under the Trump administration trade will flourish. However, for free trade to bring prosperity to America, it must also be fair trade. Our goal is not protectionism but accountability.” “Fair trade that creates American jobs, increase American wages, and reduce America's trade deficit.” _____ DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN PROMISES FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS. By Linda Qiu. POLITIFACT. Thursday, November 10th, 2016. <http: /> 4. RENEGOTIATE THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT OR WITHDRAW FROM THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP. As president, Trump would have the authority to bow out of both trade deals, but going back to the drawing board for new agreements is unlikely, experts told us. 5. IMPOSE TARIFFS. WARREN MARUYAMA, a former general counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, previously told us Trump would have the authority under a variety of trade statutes to impose higher tariffs, but added "it would lead to a trade war and cost hundreds and thousands of jobs." HAL SHAPIRO, an attorney specializing in international trade practice, pointed to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which gives the president the power to impose retaliatory tariffs on countries that violate trade agreements or engage in unfair trade practices. But Shapiro said he can’t think of "a single instance" where a U.S. company offshoring is considered an unfair trade practice by the foreign country. _____ DONALD TRUMP “We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.” “I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.” “The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. The American People will come first once again.”
