But look what the overall trade policy has done even with North American Free Trade Agreement. We now have this gigantic deficit in trade with Mexico. Not because North American Free Trade Agreement wasn't made better, because overall trade policy and how he deals with North American Free Trade Agreement made everything worse.

– Beau BidenRate it:

For whosoever commands the sea commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.

– Walter RaleighRate it:

In all things, to serve from the lowest station upwards is necessary. To restrict yourself to a trade is best. For the narrow mind, whatever he attempts is still a trade; for the higher, an art; and the highest in doing one thing does all, or, to speak less paradoxically, in the one thing which he does rightly he sees the likeness of all that is done rightly.

– GoetheRate it:

In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.

– Martin NiemllerRate it:

Is there something in trade that desiccates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is. It is not due to trade but to intensity of self-seeking, combined with narrowness of occupation. Business has destroyed the very knowledge in us of all other natural forces except business.

– John Jay ChapmanRate it:

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

I'm a free trader -- I believe in free trade, right? I like free trade. I like free trade, but free trade's only good if you have smart representatives.

– Donald TrumpRate it:

In the five years strategic action plan signed yesterday we have aimed at boosting our bilateral trade to the level of US Dollars five billion by 2021, more land routes for trade on our border, trade exhibitions, industrial and agricultural cooperation and mutual recognition of standards will boost trade.

– Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz SharifRate it:

It is trade and the effect of trade. The problem is right now it is what I call an 'unquantifiable potential outcome' - so nobody really knows what is going to happen, all we know is there is increasingly heated rhetoric regarding trade and if we are not careful we end up in a trade war that will definitely slow economic growth and possibly push us into recession.

– Sam StovallRate it:

As a set of principles, one of the things we need to be able to do ... is the ability to do those international trade deals, to be able to trade globally around the world, and have an independent trade policy, that means we can't stay in the current EU customs union, there are a whole range of meetings today between senior ministers and colleagues around the House of Commons. We will listen to what people have to say.

– Brandon LewisRate it:

Car companies are saying they're not able to continue production. Retailers are losing access to product. Agricultural products are rotting in their containers because they can't be shipped overseas, when all that economic impact began to be felt, it became very difficult for the President to do nothing. If Secretary Perez determines that there's no hope of reaching an agreement, the President could be forced to make a difficult choice. . Under the Taft-Hartley Act,, if the President concludes that a strike or labor dispute is a threat to the country's health or safety, he can go to court and seek an injunction to force everybody back to work. This is where a labor dispute could become a more complicated political issue. President Barack Obama is on track to send Congress legislation that will give President Barack Obama fast-track trade authority, an essential tool to win congressional approval of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal with 11 Pacific Rim nations, making it the largest trade deal in American history. The labor movement is generally strongly opposed to fast-track authority and the Trans Pacific Partnership.

– Labor Secretary Seth HarrisRate it:

Clearly the state of global trade, I'm very worried about the way it's going. The growth of protectionism, of tariffs, that we're seeing, there are all sorts of people, who will take any excuse at all to interfere with free trade and to frustrate trade deals, and I don't want to see that.

– Boris JohnsonRate it:

I have a sense of what America First means to President Donald Trump in terms of trade, but trade is only one dimension of Benjamin Netanyahu foreign policy, it's one thing to say President Donald Trump wants better deals with this country or that country. What about problems outside the trade sphere ?

– Christine WormuthRate it:

If there is a set-back in trade talks, both external demand and domestic demand could be hit. If the U.S. and China reach a trade deal, China will have to step up imports form the U.S., which will reduce its trade surplus, which will reduce net exports' contribution to GDP growth.

– Tang JianweiRate it:

In 1997 we were the fastest growing manufacturing metro area in the country and four years later it collapsed, what you can see on the ground today is 3,000 job openings. China's emergence as the world's low-cost producer and export superpower following its World Trade Organization entry in 2001 dealt a heavy blow to traditional industrial communities such as Hickory. Economists David Autor, David Dorn and Gordon Hanson have tried to separate the impact of trade from other factors affecting U.S. manufacturing employment and they estimate that between 1990 and 2007 Hickory lost 16 percent of its manufacturing jobs just due to surging imports from China. DEEP SCARS. Buffeted by other headwinds, such as the 1994 North American Free Trade agreement and the lifting of textile quotas in 2004, the area lost 40,000 manufacturing jobs overall, half the total, between 2000 and 2009. Nationally, more than 5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since 2000, a period that also included the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The collapse left deep and still visible scars that help explain the appeal of Trump's pledge to bring back manufacturing's glory days. In Hickory, disability rolls soared more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2014, swollen by older workers who struggled to return to the workforce. At the same time, the share of the 25-34 year old in the population fell by almost a fifth between 2000 and 2010. Consequently, even as the unemployment rate tumbled from a peak above 15 percent in 2010 to 4.6 percent today, below the national average, so did the labor force participation rate. It fell from above 68 percent in 2000 to below 59 percent in 2014. Poverty levels doubled. Yet the manufacturing upswing in areas that suffered the most during the downturn is evident. Rust belt states, such as Michigan, Indiana and Ohio that may prove pivotal in the Nov. 8 presidential election, have been adding manufacturing jobs faster than the economy as a whole. Michigan, for example, which lost nearly half of its manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2009, has since then seen a 25 percent rise, well above the 4 percent gain nationally. Manufacturing employment there is still well below the levels in the 1990s. Economists debate whether returning to that level is realistic given technological advances that have reduced manufacturing's share of the workforce from a high of above 30 percent in the 1950s to around 8 percent today. But they also feel that have already seen the bottom, particularly when it comes to China's impact.

– Donald DuncanRate it:

In general terms, we have a trade skirmish not a trade war, longer term, we believe these trade issues will be resolved but on a day-to-day basis they lead to some consternation from investors.

– Anthony ChanRate it:

It (trade issues) is going to be uncomfortable, the rhetoric is going to rise closer to mid-term elections. No matter if there are trade skirmishes or a trade war, the one thing that is going to affect (markets) is higher inflation.

– Matt LloydRate it:

One thing we sort of agree on is trade. I mean, we're getting horribly beaten on trade. The difference is, I'll make great trade deals, he is incapable of doing that. He's incapable of it. And you know, he just won't be able to do that. But he does at least acknowledge that we're getting just absolutely ripped by China and all these other countries. So in that way, we're the same. I think a lot of his people are going to come over.

– Donald TrumpRate it:

Owning domestic-focused names in China has been successful in 2019, even with all the noise around trade tension, weakening macro and the magic '7' level for the renminbi, names in the sportswear and beverage sectors have performed well as trade issues have not impacted them and their strong branding and high margins have attracted investors looking for less cyclical and global trade exposure.

– Sat DuhraRate it:

Republican candidates have effectively abandoned the voters they are campaigning to represent -- standing by Trump's disastrous trade war as farmers, manufacturers and small businesses in their communities are hurt, trade War Watch will keep a running tab of the casualties of the trade war to make clear to voters that Republicans are not on their side.

Right now, the rules of global trade too often undermine our values and put our workers and businesses at a disadvantage, tPP allows America – and not countries like China – to write the rules of the road in the 21st century, which is especially important in a region as dynamic as the Asia-Pacific. Signed in February 2016, the deal was supposed to provoke investment among the 12 regions, which together make up about 40 percent of the global economy, the BBC reported at the time. However, the countries involved needed to ratify the agreement in order for it to actually go into effect. Trump’s presidency, which began less than a year later, complicated that. President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the trade deal through an executive order in January 2017. Last month, the remaining 11 countries signed a deal without the U.S. Delegates rally against the The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal at the Democratic National Convention in 2016. ( Reuters/Carlos Barria) Opponents of the deal, including labor unions, argued it would be a threat to manufacturing jobs and encourage exports of jobs to lower-wage countries overseas. If TPP would be enacted, the U.S. would lose 448,000 jobs, according to a study from Tufts University’s Global and Environment Institute. In comparison, the study found a total job loss of 771,000 across all 12 nations involved in the deal combined. Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, broke with the President Barack Obama administration in opposing the deal. Hillary Clinton expressed concern that it would benefit drug countries and would n’t combat currency manipulation, Time magazine reported. President Trump once called TPP a.

– Barack ObamaRate it:

Starting a trade war with our closest allies is the last thing we should be doing. No one wins in a trade war, especially hardworking families who may have to pay more for the goods they buy every day, if this starts an international trade war.

– Bill NelsonRate it:

The risk off trade was clearly visible in last week's fund flows, uncertainty of trade protection is becoming a growing concern for investors as the U.S.-China trade war heats up.

– Scott AndersonRate it:

There have been times - and this is one of them - where anti-trade sentiment has attained some salience in our domestic politics as well as in other countries, there's been an evolution over the decades in the nature of trade agreements and in the caliber of trade agreements. And I'm not sure that that has fully been absorbed in the public mindset or the political discourse.
