 What Are Values?

Some values like freedom, democracy, and

individual liberty are plainly written. While
others like human rights, cooperation,
environmental awareness, security, and stability
are implied. The former values are the
foundation of our country.
Human Rights
Human rights is one of the
fundamental values the U.S
has. From enforcing strict

We believe that the

countries that we trade
with should uphold our
standards when it comes to
the way humans are
treated.
 Cooperation

Promoting human rights helps promote international

stability and is therefore vital to global security.
Linking trade policy with other issues gives the US greater
leverage in dealing with concerns that will ultimately
affect the world community. International cooperation on
these existential issues will ensure a positive result.
Environmenta

We believe the U.S. trade
partners should have an
obligation to our world
and environment. To
continue in trade with the
U.S., neighboring countries
must put forth an effort
to maintain and protect
our local environments. A
mutual effort to maintain
our ecosystems is beneficial
to all. If being able to
trade with other countries
is the prize, everyone will
want to pay the cost.
