- A values-based alliance of democracies should be formed to create a new trade regime excluding authoritarian regimes and protect democratic values.
- Engaging in trade with authoritarian regimes does not lead to their democratization, and a new trade order based on rule of law, human rights, and CO2 emissions targets is needed to strengthen democracies and protect their values.
