Keep Canadian and Mexican borders open to help with free trade.
Impose tariffs on goods from countries like China who manipulate currency.
Encourage more free trade with countries such as Chile, Singapore, Australia, Dominican Republic.
No fast track agreements.
Restrict trade with countries who don't support democracy.
Only enter trade agreements for two years at a time subject to review.
Pass trade agreements which help American exports.
Manipulate WTO to our advantage.
Allow importation of Canadian prescription drugs.

Offer free trade agreements to every country; restrict U.S. arms sales to any country governed in a manner in violation of human rights, and also any country that allows U.S. arms purchased to then pass into the hands of the aforementioned violators; remain open to generously negotiating terms of fair trade with LDCs favorable to their development; forgive debts currently owed by LDCs; lift all embargoes and trade sanctions not pertaining to military hardware; raise immigration quotas; and try to negotiate while forming an international coalition to oppose Chinese currency manipulation.

If/when the States establishes a socialist economy, bar all businesses that are not either sole proprietorships or worker cooperatives from being based on or from trading within its territory.

Withdraw from WTO - it is meaningless without the USA.  Then, impose very high tariffs on any country with a lower wage than the US 'prevailing union wage'.

Wouldn't you want a higher tariff on products coming from countries with higher wages? This would cause employee's overseas to take pay cuts and demand more money. They would unionize or be suppressed by their government.
