Define Free Trade please. China has plenty of tariffs on imports.

Free Trade. Translation: The USA has no tariffs. Everyone else keeps theirs.

This is the sort of corrupt trade policy that our worst enemies, our own State Dept, has been foisting on us for decades.

Germany, like the U.S., is nominally a free-trading country. The difference is that while the U.S. genuinely believes in free trade, Germany quietly follows a contrary tradition that goes back to the 19th-century German economist Friedrich List (who was, ironically, a student of our own Alexander Hamilton, the man on the $10 bill). So despite Germany’s nominal policy of free trade, in reality, a huge key to its trading success is a vast and half-hidden thicket of de facto non-tariff trade barriers. That these barriers exist is not especially controversial, even among those who espouse free trade and thus deny that they serve any useful purpose.

I wonder if there is any deeper meaning to “fight together” than on trade? I like Merkel about as much as John McCain.
