“I think it’s increasingly important to free market conservatives and libertarians who are supportive of trade to stand up and make the case now, because the threat of a retreat from the prevailing trade consensus is more imminent than it has been basically since the end of World War II,” said Clark Packard, trade policy counsel at R Street Institute, a conservative think tank whose priorities include free trade and free-market environmental policies.
“It’s going to be a test case to see how the Trump administration reacts when forced to make a decision,” he said.
