  • Lincoln Chafee joined 14 other governors in an open letter encouraging President Barack Obama and congressional leadership to support transatlantic trade agreements in 2013. The governors asserted “that the national and global economy can grow at a more robust pace and that trade liberalization will be a key component of that future growth.”[1]
  • In 2006, Chafee voted for HR 5684 - United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, a free trade agreement with Oman.[2]
  • In 2005, Chafee voted for S 1307 - Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act. Chafee argued the law would “keep America competitive with China” by encouraging businesses to use regional factories and American materials.[3][4]
  • In 2003, Chafee voted for free trade agreements with Chile and Singapore. Commenting on these agreements, Chafee said, “Free trade, rather than imposing U.S. values and robbing peoples of their culture, creates new economic opportunities and helps raise the standard of living for millions of people.”[5][6][7]
  • In 2002, Chafee co-sponsored S 2796 - United States-Uruguay Free Trade Agreement, a bill to authorize free trade with Uruguay.[8]
