How you can even think that is beyond me. I can accept that any country negotiating a trade deal with anyone would expect a certain quality of product that meets their specifications as laid down by their laws. That is part of supply and demand. Can we do it to their specs? - Yes, they then buy from us.
The only other thing I can think of is ethical treatment of workers as is allegedly being applied in trade negotiations centred on Asia.
Please educate me on which of our laws will change due to trade negotiations that will affect the citizens (not companies) of this nation.
