Jonah, you ask if there is anything wrong with โBuy Americanโ marketing campaigns from a free trade point of view? Nothing at all, I reckon, so long, as you imply, that itโs not backed up by tariffs, national preference legislation or the like. Interestingly, across the ocean, the EU Commission has in the past suggested that โmade in Britain,โ โmade in Franceโ and so on should be replaced by a generic โmade in EUโ label. To Brussels, keeping consumers fully informed is, apparently, less important than some imagined โEuropeanโ ideal.
