commercial that criticises the tariffs he’s imposed on the country

When someone says,
“Let’s impose tariffs on
foreign imports,” it looks
like they’re doing the
patriotic thing by
protecting American
products and jobs.

And sometimes, for a
short while, it works, but
only for a short time.

But over the long run,
such trade barriers hurt
every American worker
and consumer.

High tariffs inevitably
lead to retaliation by
foreign countries and
the triggering of fierce
trade wars.

Then the worst
happens – markets
shrink and collapse,
businesses and
industries shut down,
and millions of people
lose their jobs.

Throughout the world,
there’s a growing
realisation that the way
to prosperity for all
nations is rejecting
protectionist legislation
and promoting fair and
free competition.

America’s jobs and
growth are at stake.

Commercial: 60 seconds, featuring emotive
imagery of American society overlaid by selected
segments from 1987 radio address about fair trade
by then President Ronald Reagan
