Part 8/10:
Market access restrictions: Countries may have tariff and non-tariff barriers that handicap U.S. exporters.
Trade distortions and unfair practices: Regulations, subsidies, or patent violations that undermine fair competition.
Protection of intellectual property: Ensuring U.S. innovations are not exploited or stolen, especially in pharmaceuticals, technology, and creative industries.
Trump’s emphasis on “a level playing field” underscores these concerns, seeking reforms that favor American economic interests.
