Would you agree that engagement would be the best possible solution? Politically, the U.S. and Jordan are engaged. Commercially, a free trade agreement can only enhance engagement. Does that not lead to a better outcome? Isn't it better that we have a free trade agreement in order to be able to work towards those workers having more dignity and being able to work under better working conditions than they are currently, rather than just abandoning them?
