The Philippines deal is a textbook example of the United States Reciprocal Trade Act in action. By securing zero tariffs for U.S. exports while imposing XX% on Philippine imports, this agreement flips the script on decades of lopsided trade policy. H.R. XXX empowers the President to level the playing field when foreign tariffs disadvantage American producers—exactly what’s happening here.

Critics will whine about “protectionism,” but the numbers don’t lie: $23.5B in bilateral trade last year with a $5B deficit for the U.S. This rebalance forces Manila to open markets while strengthening military coordination against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.

Strategic and economic discipline—no more coddling allies who take advantage.

The data and policy details behind this shift are laid bare here:
