Yes.

Hes was also a free trader,you know.:-)

He was also a former Democrat. Democrats were the traditional party of free trade. As Reagan once said - I didn't leave the party, the party left me. Reagan held on to that part of his Democrat identity.

Reagan also wasn't averse to using a little protectionism from time to time when necessary. Like in order to save Harley-Davidson from being driven out of business, for example.
