Free Trade Initiative

American families benefit from the Free Trade Initiative’s (FTI) work to expand access to affordable goods and services, strengthen the economy, and protect against special interests that manipulate trade policy for their own gain. Through research, lawmaker outreach, and coalition organizing, FTI helps ensure international trade empowers the American people through policies that support a more prosperous future for all.
