Are you saying Ayn would say its okay to trade with a communist country?

 More and better production is good for all men, everywhere. What’s good for Toyota is good for America. That’s individualism, and that’s Americanism.
     Government interference with free trade is un-American. Sacrificing one’s standard of living in order to subsidize inefficient domestic producers is un-American. The tribal fear of foreigners is un-American. Resentment at others’ success is un-American.
     A patriotic American acts as a capitalist and an individualist: he buys the best, wherever it may be found.

Sacrificing one’s standard of living in order to subsidize inefficient domestic producers is un-American.

And sacrificing our own standard of living to promote foreign development is supposed to be pro-American???

gcruse, IMHO you gotta be certifiably demented.
