“For all the prosperity that expanded trade had brought the US, the Reagan campaign did demand that ‘free trade must be fair trade.’ Much like today’s administration, they condemned other nations that were imposing ‘barriers to our exports and unfairly [subsidizing] their own industries.’ Similarly, the Reagan campaign insisted that they would ‘work to prevent such unfair trade practices.’ Unlike the current administration, however, they insisted that the answer was entrepreneurship, lower taxes, and deregulation, not protectionism.” (04/08/25)
