america stands with every person living under a brutal regime. our respect for sovereignty is also a call for action. all people deserve a government that cares for their safety, their interests, and their wellbeing, including their prosperity. in america, we seek stronger ties of business and trade with all nations of goodwill, but this trade must be fair and it must be reciprocal. for too long, the american people were told that mammoth multinational trade deals, unaccountable international tribunals, and powerful global bureaucracies were the best way to promote their success. but as those promises flowed, millions of jobs vanished and thousands of factories disappeared. others gamed the system and broke the rules. and our great middle class, once the bedrock of american prosperity, was forgotten and left behind, but they are forgotten no more and they will never be forgotten again. while america will pursue cooperation and commerce with other nations, we are renewing our commitment to the first duty of every government: the duty of our citize
