Question about exports
Sadalge asked whether the United States, which he called a major exporter, takes jobs away from other countries. He also said that people everywhere want to have good products that improve their lives.
His question concerned ECNS’s cited claim about possible employment losses in U.S. manufacturing. “When people work and cooperate to improve each other’s lives, it is always good,” he said.
