Abstract
This article examines two parallel issues of vital importance to the United States and to the rest of the world — free trade and cybersecurity. In the free trade context, we argue that the U.S. government has voiced lofty ideals in theory only to ignore and sometimes openly flout its international obligations in practice. Not only is this harmful to the balance sheets of U.S. consumers and exporters, but simultaneously it threatens to undermine the U.S. leadership on a host of global policy issues, including Internet governance.
Keywords: international trade, cybersecurity, cyber attack, international law, Internet governance
