We have several Anti Trump "conservatives" on this forum who believe free trade consists of unfettered trade, doesn't matter if the nation uses slave labor, tariffs and requires US corporations to share their industrial and manufacturing technologies, that's free trade man. Seems more like the type of trade agreements a Globalist would want rather than trade agreements that help to preserve a sovereign nation with a robust middle class.

Free trade lacks any govt mandated trade agreements

Who would this be?

If a company wants to share technology, why would a conservative interfere?
If a company doesn't want to share technology, then don't.
I can't tell if you are referencing piracy.

Letting a company operate within the laws and with their own self interest is a conservative principle.
I'm not understanding why a conservative would be against conservative principles of free enterprise for a US based corporation.

Trade agreements help preserve a Middle class. Tariffs do not. Are you principled in favor of the middle class? Or not?

Multinationals have done a fantastic job of selling the idea of "free trade" though think tanks, lobbyists and NGOs. Their idea of free trade puts the burden on the U.S. They don't care about selling products in the countries where they take advantage of cheap labor and no environmental regulations. They just want to sell back to America as cheaply as possible.
I can't blame them. I understand their motivation. But whatever consumer gains America makes in the short term are lost in the long term.
