The potential economic gains from trade for America are faraway from exhausted. Roughly three quarters of world purchasing power and over 95% of world consumers are outside America’s borders. The Peterson Institute analysis also estimated that elimination of remaining global trade barriers would increase the benefit America already enjoys from trade by another 50%. Trade remains an engine of growth for America. The negotiation of further reductions in global barriers and effective enforcement of existing agreements are the tools to reap those additional benefits.
