Part 3/7:
A core element of Trump’s approach, as highlighted in the transcript, is advocating for fair trade rather than free trade. This involves ensuring that other countries do not engage in unfair practices such as subsidies that distort markets or environmental degradation that disadvantages American exporters. The speaker emphasizes support for China’s push to reform technology and efficiency without environmental excess, suggesting that fair competition benefits everyone. Trump’s insistence on fairness was driven by the desire to protect American industries from unfair foreign subsidies and practices.
