It's simple. Our government needs to apply a set of standards to the "free trade" agreements. If a country does not have at least this minimum set of standards, then the agreement does not apply to them, i.e. no "free" trade with them -- goods from that country would be taxed.

The result is that corporations will not be willing to move their factories there if they cannot import the goods back into the US market without having to pay a tarrif. And the end result is that these countries will conform to our standards in order to maintain foreign investment.
