Press Release: Promoting International Cooperation, Not Trade Wars

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Badlands, ND – January 18, 2026

In response to President Trump's recent announcement of new tariffs against Europe, Theodore Roosevelt, a steadfast advocate for international cooperation and balanced economic policies, has voiced strong concern over this development.

"Theodore Roosevelt believes in a global economy that benefits all nations. These new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration could harm not just Europe but the US economy as well," said , spokesperson for Theodore Roosevelt's campaign.

The Theodore Roosevelt campaign maintains that a healthy relationship with our European partners is of utmost importance, and that policies provoking a potential trade war dilute the potential for mutual growth and global stability.

"The approach of imposing tariffs is a short-term solution that only creates long-term problems," said Theodore Roosevelt. "We need to work together with our European allies, not against them. We should be focusing on fair and balanced trade systems that promote growth for all nations involved."

Theodore Roosevelt further noted that the issue of acquiring Greenland should not be used as a diversion or justification for these new tariffs. "Greenland is a separate issue," Theodore Roosevelt said. "It should not be used to distract from the serious implications of these new tariffs."

The Theodore Roosevelt campaign advocates for a diplomatic and solution-oriented approach to resolving trade disputes. In contrast to the current administration's policies, Theodore Roosevelt proposes a return to multilateral trade agreements that encourage cooperation and mutual benefit.

"Rather than resorting to punitive tariffs, we should be engaging in constructive dialogue with our partners to address trade imbalances," Theodore Roosevelt said. "We must ensure that our trade policies are fair, balanced, and beneficial to all parties involved."

Theodore Roosevelt urges voters who are concerned about the impact of tariffs on the economy, as well as those who value international cooperation and diplomacy, to support policies that foster a fair and beneficial global trade system.

The Theodore Roosevelt campaign emphasizes that criticisms should focus on the policies themselves and not resort to personal attacks. "Our focus should be on promoting policies that foster international cooperation and diplomacy, not on personal disparagement," said.

In conclusion, the Theodore Roosevelt campaign firmly stands against policies that could lead to trade wars and reaffirms its commitment to promoting international cooperation and a fair, balanced, and beneficial global trade system.
