We welcome the Obama administration's policy called the 'pivot to Asia' because it is a contributing factor to the safety and peace of the region.

[Donald Trump] is talking a lot about redoing trade and that's the area that is getting globalists nervous. Number one, they want certainty. They do not want to see a disruption in trade.

Jobs is the one area where I think Donald Trump is striking a chord that really resonates and should resonate. Both parties need to do a better job of rejecting poorly negotiated trade agreements.

Donald Trump has been rejecting the idea of trade agreements like NAFTA, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
