.@newtgingrich: One of the principle ways that other countries unfairly undermine & attack our economy—& therefore American jobs—is by heavily subsidizing their own industries to create artificially cheaper products & services that out-compete US companies https://t.co/cqYumUQpEM
.@HudsonInstitute's Thomas Duesterberg discusses how Qatar's #OpenSkies subsidy violations impact trade & how @qatarairways' investment in @air_italy_ plays a critical role in their continued distortion of the international aviation market.

.@newtgingrich on Qatar's #OpenSkies violations: "Qatar has been deliberately undercutting & acting in ways that make it impossible for a company to compete in the Middle East...They promised several months ago that they would stop. They haven’t stopped."

.@realDonaldTrump is absolutely right to make cracking down on foreign trade cheating a pillar of his presidency. Time to acknowledge Qatar is cheating on #OpenSkies and take action.
.@POTUS has taken action to stop US aviation trade cheating, yet #Qatar continues to break the rules. These flagrant violations of #OpenSkies threaten 1.2 MILLION American jobs and must be stopped.
