Huckabee's Trade (section page)

Free and Fair Trade

"As president, I will fight for America’s future and America’s farmers. I will:

• Reject Obama’s radical, EPA mandates that strangle farmers with bureaucracy and Washington nonsense.
• Fight for free and fair trade. Americans can compete with anyone in the world, but agriculture trade is often unfair and not free.
• Support American corn producers and the renewable fuel standard. Washington shouldn’t pick favorites or change the rules in the middle of the game.
• Abolish the Death Tax and protect family farms." [1]

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)

"I support free, fair trade, but I’m sick of America’s workers getting punched in the gut.

We don’t create good jobs for Americans by entering into unbalanced trade deals that forgo congressional scrutiny and ignore the law only to import low-wage labor, undercut American workers, and drive wages lower than the Dead Sea.

...

I cannot support giving this administration trade promotion authority (TPA) for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)."
