Walberg set a conditional standard that he would only support trade agreements he considered free and fair for Michigan workers and manufacturers. The evidence shows he publicly supported USMCA, voted for or supported its House passage during his federal term, and later emphasized enforcement and Michigan agriculture/manufacturing benefits. That is a concrete action consistent with the promise, but the record provided does not establish a complete pattern that he refused all trade agreements failing that standard, so full delivery is not proven.

Walberg promised not to support trade agreements that were not free and fair for Michigan workers and manufacturers. The evidence shows he supported USMCA, publicly described his trade position as supporting policies that are free, fair, and enforced, and backed House passage of the USMCA implementing bill in 2019. The record provided does not show him supporting a trade agreement that violated the stated standard, so the promise is best treated as fulfilled on the available evidence.
