Johnson at odds with Hillary & Trump on Free Trade

"Gary Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico, is the Libertarian Party's 2016
presidential candidate and poised to make an impact in the national election. When he is included in four-way polls with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, he averages 7 points, according to RealClearPolitics.

Washington Examiner: This is an unusual election cycle in which we have two major party candidates who are flatly running against trade. Can you give us your thoughts? The Libertarian Party is understood to be free trade. Do you think it should be complete and unfettered?


Johnson: I do think it should be complete and unfettered. Free markets, I think that's how we dominate the world. But that said, I'm looking to get elected president of the United States. If I get elected president of the United States, if legislation passes that makes trade better, count on my signature." Washington Examiner
