Trade
Trade is a vital part of our nation’s economy and we must expand our nation’s trading opportunities through expanded free trade across Latin America. The United States can compete in head-to-head market competition, but we are at a disadvantage if our products and services face stiff tariffs and other market barriers that our competitors do not face. Eliminating tariffs and other barriers through free trade agreements will expand our trading opportunities and help create jobs here at home. If we are to be competitive in a global economy, we simply cannot concede our competitive advantage because of inaction.
