There is no such thing called "fair trade". Every country has its own endowments, so each country has its own relative advantages and disadvantages, according to what we've learned from international economics class. International trade is not a panacea. Some will win, some will lose. The decision should be based on whether or not the benefits will be outweigh the disadvantages. Unfortunately, Trump's "economic illiteracy trade policy" (quoted from Financial Times), which is based on populism, will backlash. Nobody is winner.
