Fair trade is what ever the lobbyist in the US deem fair to their particular industry. 

In the case of softwood, every time the Yanks place duty on our wood the tribunal eventually rules in our favor again showing the yanks what fairness is - which is why they want the Tribunal disbanded. The trouble is they want the whole pie and not just a few slices.

Look at history and you'll find American commerce taking full advantage of lesser countries and in the past they backed it up with gun boat diplomacy. I have zero trust in the US - Especially with agent orange and his lost continental wacko's at the helm.
