The case by case basis meaning that they would only engage in free trade if the countries we traded with were more or less on equal footing with ours and weren't third world countries with lower wage rates we couldn't compete with?

That would be the general idea. You make trade agreements because its beneficial to your own country. Not because you have some grand global development ideology.

Fun fact: Karl Marx supported global free trade. He believed if you eroded the power of national governments and put bankers and global capitalists in charge of everything in a society the society would eventually undergo a communist revolution.

Karl Marx was also a Jew. The biggest governments aren't national governments, the biggest government is a one world government under Zionist globalist bankster rule. And communists are simply useful idiots, sowing economic chaos wherever they go for the Jews to exploit.

Free trade isn't supposed to be a zero sum game. But do big governments want to make it that way to justify their protectionism and power?
