it does not. i travel all around this country talking about the benefits of trade. itseli was just in minnesota a e weeks ago. farmers in minnesota are worried about the president s trade policies, because guess who s getting attacked as a result of these policies. the president would make the point we ve already been attacked, industry by industry, by countries taking advantage of our intellectual property, our open markets. yes, now they re counterattacking us on agriculture, but we need to stand them down for this standoff to work. pete, the president said it clear, the reason we don t have a fair level of trade is because no one has asked. the president is asking. he s asking, let s level the playing field. the president is not asking for this to happen. the president is saying, i m going to tax the american people to tori, what s the response?
