Fake news. Trump never said he is against free trade. What he wants is fair trade. The US has had an unfair trade arrangement with  Japan for 50 years.  They still wont allow America goods  in, while expecting free access to  US markets. The same is true of South Korea and China. They are all utterly protectionist yet western  elite liberals refuse to admit it.  . If anything he wants to open trade in all directions which ought to be a seen as a good thing.
