How are tariffs and subsidies handled under a foreign policy of leading by example at home?

As part of leading by example at home, we unilaterally remove trade barriers such as tariffs and subsidies. This is the only approach that is consistent with protecting our individual rights to freely trade with whomever we want (with the possible rare exception of countries that temporarily pose an imminent threat to us). Other countries may erect barriers against trade, but such policies are self-defeating as they violate the individual rights of their inhabitants and rob them of the full benefits of capitalism.
