Issue Position: Promoting Exports

Issue Position

Another important component of a thriving economy is trade. American products and services are among the best in the world and should compete freely in the world market. While unfair foreign trade practices inhibit our ability to compete, the ability to pursue new, free markets with more consumers allows businesses-increasingly, small businesses-to grow and expand, translating into more jobs for U.S. workers. I support trade policies that would increase our exports, especially those that affect Oklahoma, like agriculture and energy technology. Generally speaking, I will be supportive of future free trade agreements that strengthen our domestic economy and increase the ability of American citizens to move products into overseas markets.
