President-Elect Donald J. Trump Nominates Robert Lighthizer as United States Trade Representative https://greatagain.gov/ustr-dcf9bf87f3bd#.z97dbyqvy (January 3, 2017)

“Given the current financial crisis and the widespread belief that the 21st century will belong to China, is free trade really making global markets more efficient? Is it promoting our values and making America stronger? Or is it simply strengthening our adversaries and creating a world where countries who abuse the system - such as China - are on the road to economic and military dominance? If Mr. Trump’s potential campaign does nothing more than force a real debate on those questions, it will have done a service to both the Republican Party and the country.”
