Protect US Interests
The US must safeguard its economic and national security by ensuring trade partners align with its strategic objectives. Allowing potential adversaries to gain influence through allied nations poses a threat.
Hold Partners Accountable
Allies like Canada must be held accountable for their foreign policy decisions that could indirectly affect US security. Trade agreements should reflect shared values and strategic interests.
Demand Fair Terms
The US should not renew trade pacts unless they fully serve American interests and address current geopolitical realities. This encourages partners to re-evaluate their relationships with rival nations.
