• Who benefits from your approach, and who loses? Why? Include impacts on both American citizens and the citizens of the other countries with whom we (U.S.) trade.
• If your home country is outside the U.S., indicate the possible impact of your stand (favoring either free trade or trade protectionism) on your country.
