| Message | This is NOT actually a tax. Read the treaty. It sets out that we will only impose trade tariff on a reciprocal basis, otherwise there will be free trade. It's not a very well named treaty, but it is a perfectly good one. |

| Message | Free trade for life. That's the LPP policy. |

| Message | What, free trade with countries which will impose tariffs? The reality is that we'd come off worse. This is pretty much a free trade treaty, only it also allows us to deal with hostile tariffs if necessary. |
