Globalization and free trade do spur economic growth, and they lead to lower prices on many goods.

But, we have had the debate in our country now for a number of years as to whether or not free trade agreements are good for economic growth and economic opportunity in creating jobs and lifting people out of poverty.

Free Tibet before free trade.

Trade is balanced. Growth of exports and imports was practically the same.

In response to rapid growth in cross-border trade and the growing need for automating global trade operations, we are expanding our international presence to assist multinational companies in optimizing their financial supply chain. Emmanuel is the ideal choice to lead our European efforts. We are thrilled to have him on board.

A trade deficit like this is unacceptable, ... It lowers our GDP growth.
