Of course not. The purpose of a FTA is to remove unnatural barriers to our exports. It is an agreement between two countries that goods and services are treated equally by the two. Duncan Hunter refers to the concept as a “mirror.”

Actually its slightly more complicated than that. With "free trade" goods produced by slaves in third world countries have to be treated equally with goods produced domestically by free people. US citizens must purchase goods produced by communists to bolster economies of communist countries and make communist dictators wealthy beyond belief, at the same time suppressing any repulsion or horror that free people are contributing to the maintenance of communism in the world. Under "free trade", there cannot be any discrimination against communism as a form of government in their purchases, because the transnational corporations and our corrupt government want it that way.

That's why we call it "free trade". It's a horrible terrible joke on the American people. We're not even 'free' to keep money out of communist countries anymore, because that would be anti-"free trade". And as the "free trade" agenda is pursued, communism is strengthening in the world.
