in your neck of the woods for a while that I don't think that the Caribbean Free Trade Agreement has been all that great for the islands, nor have the imposition of Federal laws on the USVI and PR that require a much greater base of infrastructure in order to keep people in compliance than many of the islands actually have or can afford.  So I understand why "fair trade" may be viewed with trepidation, but I would argue that we are imposing it in many ways already - just not in ways that really help either side of the deal imo.
