? McCain is a supporter of free trade. ? McCain wants to lower trade barriers. Ninety-five percent of the world's customers lie outside our borders and he says we need to be at the table when the rules for access to those markets are written. To do so, he thinks the U.S. should engage in multilateral, regional and bilateral efforts to reduce barriers to trade, level the global playing field and build effective enforcement of global trading rules. He believes these steps would also strengthen the U.S. dollar and help to control the rising cost of living that hurts our families. |
