Pence, I’ll be asking him about Trump’s proposal to have an essentially closed economy, no free trade, no competition with other nations,” he added. The former Massachusetts governor argued that Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s economic policies would be taking America a “lion’s step backwards.” “We believe in free trade in both goods and services, internationally,” he said. “We have by far the greatest productivity per worker of any country in the world so we’re always going to benefit from free and open trade and the jobs that we get from that are high wage jobs.” (show less)
