By "free trade" the Slimes and Mr. Landler mean "free trade agreements" that are thousands of pages of EXCEPTIONS to free trade that have "been so beneficial to so many countries" at the expense of the United States.
Mama always said… “Consider the source!”.
NYT’s wouldn’t know the Free Market Economy if it hit them in the face.
Hey Mr. Lander, GFY ESAD!
The NYT calls “free trade” a mechanism that allows other countries to charge a multiple times higher tariff on US imports into their own country than the US charges for imports from their country.
I hope this “wound” becomes a free bleeder soon so the healing can begin.
Free nor fair trade is possible with one-sided tariffs.
Wow, a tax NYT doesn’t like!
Free trade simply doesn’t exist...anywhere. Is the NYT stupid enough to think the US has been operating under conditions of free trade? Even saying free trade exists with exceptions is a misstatement of fact. Once again, the Old Gray Lady shows her true colors.
Trump’s one sentence, Free Trade policy is best; don’t tariff US and we’ll do the same.
what free trade?
One-Sidded tariffs are not Free Trade. It is Trade Abuse.
It’s not free trade when one side in enacting huge tariffs and there is no tariffs on our end.
Cananda has what? A 200+ % tariff on American goods? and we aren’t supposed to do likewise to make it fair? It’s about time a president had the guts to say “NO MORE! We are NOT the world’s piggy bank!”
what “free trade” ???
I would like to say the paper and the reporter are stupid enough to think we have had “free trade” but they likely know all to well it wasn’t.
At the time of WW2, America had its own economy, everything to wage war we built in country.
Congress has been schtupping that ifrea ever since.
We don’t have effin free trade.
LOL!! How is it free trade if we’re paying through the nose, while countries we trade with pay nothing or very little. Some of those countries who gouge us on tariffs, get aid from this country.
NY Slimes wants to hurt America. They always have.
If I were to pay a woman for sex, I suppose the New York Times would then report that as “free love.”
