Part 4/16:
A core principle is to foster open markets and avoid isolationist policies. For example, protectionist trade restrictions—such as those currently enacted by India—are seen as potentially harmful to economic growth and technological progress. An emphasis is placed on ensuring that products and services are sustainable and competitive without unfair subsidies, especially from state-supported Chinese enterprises operating in the US market. Allowing only those companies that can stand on their own ensures a more stable and sustainable economic framework.
