free trade, unilateral and economic trade sanctions

  1. America's values and interests are best advanced by sustained involvement in world affairs by both the public and private sectors.

  2. The expansion of free market economies and rising living standards are crucial ingredients of political freedom and respect for human rights.

  3. Challenges to US interests and the rule of law should be addressed as much as possible in concert with our allies and trading partners.

  4. The US Government should adopt a standard of ongoing accountability, so that unilateral foreign policy sanctions are evaluated by:

    • Whether they achieve their intended results.

    • The costs imposed upon Americans in terms of lost jobs and reduced incomes.

    • The potential sacrifice of other national interests.
