Q4. ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF NEGOTIATING NEW FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES, SUCH AS BRAZIL?

I am FOR Free Trade Agreements that are fair to ALL parties involved. Expand our markets for others if we are able to create new markets for our farmers and manufacturers.

Q5. HOW WOULD YOU ENSURE CREDIBLE COMMITMENTS TO FIGHTING CORRUPTION FROM LATIN AMERICA’S PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTORS?

Trump Tried to Legalize Bribery. Maybe He Wasn’t Worried About Ukrainian Corruption.

Research and verify utilizing multi-national organizations. Not through political threats but with economic incentives. NOT through Bribery!!!

Q6. IS CHINA’S GROWING INFLUENCE IN LATIN AMERICA A THREAT TO U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY?

NO! We need to COMPETE with China, not be afraid of them. We have to work out of courage and confidence, not from fear and doubt.

Q7. DO YOU THINK A MOVE BY LATIN AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA OR OTHER DRUGS WOULD UNDERMINE U.S. INTERESTS?

https://limbaugh2020.com/we-need-to-stop-the-war-on-drugs/

NO! We have to STOP OUR War on Drugs!

Q8. SHOULD THE U.S. TAKE ACTION AGAINST BRAZIL IF IT FAILS TO PROTECT THE AMAZON RAINFOREST?

NO! Sovereignty IS Sovereignty. Do we want Canada to take action against us for ANWAR drilling (I want to!!!) or what Trump is doing to our National Parks?

Rain Forest Threats

Threats

• Logging interests cut down rain forest trees for timber used in flooring, furniture, and other items. Adopt Large Tracts using a multinational organization. Promote timber harvesting from other locations.
• Power plants and other industries cut and burn trees to generate electricity. Promote other sources of electricity. Think TVA.
• The paper industry turns huge tracts of rain forest trees into pulp. Same adoption idea – promote paper production in US and other markets.
• The cattle industry uses slash-and-burn techniques to clear ranch land. Same adoption plan but also promote cattle grazing in other locations. Work with major meat producers.
• Agricultural interests, particularly the soy industry, clear forests for cropland. Greenbelt programs like we utilize in the United States – promote US and other Soybean producers.
• Subsistence farmers slash-and-burn rain forest for firewood and to make room for crops and grazing lands. Same Greenbelt ideas. Promote manufacturing and jobs from that and other industries instead of farming.
• Mining operations clear forest to build roads and dig mines. Create programs to return the area to original condition once mining operations are complete at these locations.
• Governments and industry clear-cut forests to make way for service and transit roads. Create urban growth boundaries protecting specific areas from expansion. Purchase these tracts as permanent no-growth areas.
• Hydroelectric projects flood acres of rain forest. Provide expertise in river management to decrease flooding, again, think TVA

Q9. WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CUBA?

My chief-of-staff has been to Cuba. Loved the place. Has ideas on how we can improve our relationship with Cuba. We can benefit their residents and ours through a thawing of the relationship. We have to get to the bottom of the strange auditory attacks on our embassy workers! Help each other economically through free trade and tourism.

Q10. IN THE 20TH CENTURY, THE U.S. SUPPORTED COUPS IN COUNTRIES INCLUDING BRAZIL, CHILE AND GUATEMALA. AS PRESIDENT, WOULD YOU CONSIDER OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZING FOR SUCH PAST ACTIONS?

Absolutely! Apologize to Cuba for trying to assassinate Fidel Castro three times. The World knows our past, good and bad. Uighurs? Native Americans, Trail of Tears and Carlisle School and others. Firebombing 67 Japanese cities before we dropped two atomic bombs. Our treatment of asylum seekers on our Southern border today. Apologizing is not a sign of weakness. It is an indication one is aware of past wrongs and a willingness to be better.
