In deep blue Chicagoland, Jones is running unopposed for the party's nomination.</p><p>The local Republican party though has roundly denounced Jones and his white nationalist agenda.</p><p>"The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones. We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District," said Tim Schneider, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party.</p><p>Jones has been a vocal activist against remembering the Holocaust, and in 2009 protested the opening of a Holocaust museum in Illinois. The Anti-Defamation League has watched him for years, according to the Sun-Times.</p><p>"Arthur Jones, who proudly displays Holocaust denial, xenophobia, and racism on his blog and website, has a long history of hateful, extremist and anti-Semitic views," Lonnie Nasatir, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League Chicago-Upper Midwest Region, told the paper.</p><p>Jones' campaign website has a section devoted to the "Holocaust Racket," in which 6 million Jews were killed, "the biggest blackest lie in history."</p><p>"Well first of all, I'm running for Congress, not the chancellor of Germany," Jones told the Sun-Times. "All right. To me, the Holocaust is what I said it is: It's an international extortion racket."</p><p>In a videotaped speech, Jones said he regrets voting for President Donald Trump because he has "surrounded himself with hoards of Jews."</p><p>Jones has run for office several times in Milwaukee and Chicago, and has tried to run for Congress in the third congressional district seven times in the past. But this is the first time that he could land on the ticket because he is the only Republican running.</p><p>Jones will almost certainly lose to either incumbent Rep. Dan Lipinski or his primary challenger, Marie Newman, both of whom are Democrats.</p><div></div>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/yanis-varoufakis-says-britain-cant-win-brexit-negotiations-2018-1">It's impossible for the UK to win Brexit negotiations - so this is what Theresa May should do, according to Yanis Varoufakis</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div></hr>

The royal's agenda also includes meetings with heavy hitters from entertainment and tech giants, including Google, Apple, and Lockheed Martin.</p><p>While Salman's visit will no doubt enhance bilateral ties between the US and Saudi Arabia, experts say the prince's visit seeks to improve the country's PR in addition to its policy.</p><p>Nader Hashemi, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Denver, told <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/03/saudi-arabia-mohammed-bin-salman-180318134427159.html">Al Jazeera</a> the main purpose of Salman's visit is shifting the public's perception of Saudi Arabian society in the US.</p><p>"Saudi Arabia knows that it has an image problem," Hashemi told Al Jazeera.</p><p>Hashemi explained that in the West, Saudi Arabia is seen as "one of the countries in the Middle East that promotes a very ultra-conservative and authoritarian interpretation of Islam." </p><p>32-year-old Salman, a pioneer of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/crown-prince-is-modernizing-saudi-arabia-2017-12">social and economic changes</a>, instead wants to present himself as a "breath of fresh air, a reformer … as a liberator of women, as someone who is pro-reform [and] as someone who is taking Saudi Arabia in a different direction," Hashemi told Al Jazeera. </p><p>Salman's concerns are valid; despite strong business relations between the two nations, a <a href="http://news.gallup.com/poll/1624/perceptions-foreign-countries.aspx">February Gallup poll</a> found more than half of the respondents had an unfavorable view of Saudi Arabia. </p><p>Still, US opinion of the oil-rich country has improved, in part due to Trump's public stance on Saudi Arabia.</p><p>Early on Trump condemned Saudi Arabia for <a href="http://time.com/4785714/donald-trump-saudi-arabia/">treating women like "slaves"</a> and implied <a href="https://theintercept.com/2017/05/18/donald-trump-said-saudi-arabia-was-behind-911-now-hes-going-there-on-his-first-foreign-trip/">the country was behind 9/11</a>, but his May 2017 trip began a significant shift. He <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/defense-stock-update-after-us-saudi-arabia-defense-deal-2017-5">signed a $110 billion investment deal</a> with the country and in November seemed to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-saudi-arabia-tweets-2017-11">praise an anti-corruption purge</a>, saying he had "great confidence" in the country's leaders.</p><p>"Saudi Arabia and its public relations firms and allies in the United States have already spent a lot of money in trying to present the new Saudi crown prince as a different form of political leader," Hashemi told Al Jazeera.</p><p>Ahead of his official meetings, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-crown-prince-talks-to-60-minutes/">CBS News' 60 Minutes</a> already aired an interview with the young royal, who lauded his stance on enhancing human rights, and his desire to change the country's troubled reputation.

"Instead, we will negotiate fair bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores."</p><p>Throughout his campaign, Trump made free-trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership core to his message. </p><p>He insisted that he would make moves to renegotiate US trade deals as soon as he took office, aiming to bring offshore jobs back into the country. He took a hardline, protectionist stance, even going as far to say on the trail that TPP amounted to "the rape of our country."</p><p>And even as the plan seen early backlash from some in Trump's own party - Sen. John McCain of Arizona <a href="https://twitter.com/akarl_smith/status/801139940117594112" target="_blank">said </a>Tuesday that he was "disappointed" Trump intends to withdraw from the TPP - Trump has plowed ahead in his unorthodox play to reshape the nation's trade policy.</p><p>Trump's trade-related transition is being led by senior trade adviser and former Nucor CEO Dan DiMicco. A source told Business Insider that DiMicco is under consideration to be the next US trade representative - the top trade official in the administration.</p><p>The source, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly, said Trump is also willing to consider tough-on-trade Democrats - such as Rep. Dan Lipinski of Illinois - for Cabinet other administration posts, adding that his team is looking to go "five deep" with people who agree with Trump's platform.</p><p>But it has proven difficult to find resumes that match.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>AP Photo/Charles Dharapak</span></p><p class="caption">Barack Obama  with Dan DiMicco in 2009.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Last week, a Trump <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/15/politics/donald-trump-trade-memo-transition/index.html?sr=twCNN111516donald-trump-trade-memo-transition0304PMVODtopLink&amp;linkId=31176799" target="_blank">transition team trade memo</a> was provided to CNN. It contained an outline for trade policy within a Trump administration's first 200 days, including killing the current TPP, renegotiating or withdrawing from NAFTA, stopping "unfair imports," ending "unfair trade practices," pursuing bilateral trade deals, and retaining and returning manufacturing jobs.</p><p>That final bit focused on lowering the corporate tax rate and slashing regulations on businesses and the energy sector.</p><p>"The Trump trade plan breaks with the globalist wings of both the Republican and Democratic parties," the document read. "The Trump administration will reverse decades of conciliatory trade policy. New trade agreements will be negotiated that provide for the interests of US workers and companies first." </p><p>The plan provides benchmarks for Trump's first, 100th, and 200th days in office. They begin with starting his NAFTA reform immediately, ordering the Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission to begin production of a study on the ramifications of withdrawal from the treaty, and what would be required through legislation to do so.</p><p>Trump would also instruct the US trade representative to notify Mexico and Canada of the administration's intention to propose amendments to the deal, which, as CNN reported, "could include measures on currency manipulation, lumber, country-of-origin labeling and environmental and safety standards."</p><p>But an order was included that demanded such a report pay "extra consideration to the effects such a policy change may have on the middle class, manufacturing and service sector workers, and foreign direct investment into the United States."</p><p>In addition, right off the bat, Trump would submit legislation related to currency manipulation and review if trading partners engage in "harmful" practices. On Day 100, Trump would target China, attempting a crack down on the country by seeing if they could be labeled a currency manipulator  and through bilateral trade negotiations.</p><p>On Day 200, Trump would consider formally withdrawing from NAFTA, although the memo notes there could be negative consequences of doing so.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xX_KaStFT8">Screenshot via YouTube</a></span></p><p class="caption">Donald Trump in his Monday video address.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Robert Shapiro, a professor in the Columbia University department of political science, told Business Insider that the memo showed "Trump is doing what he said he wanted to do."</p><p>But what the memo does not outline, and what Shapiro said is "really very hard to say," is what actually produces a "better deal" for the US.</p><p>"The pieces of it that he emphasized in the campaign are things that affected jobs in the US, and what primarily affected jobs in the US is manufacturing," he said.</p><p>He continued:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"The real importance of the agreement that have to do with labor, with the environment, he doesn't talk about. He's going to have to be held accountable for anything he renegotiates and has any effect on jobs. A lot of the calculations that go into jobs and where jobs go have more to do with markets and genuine comparative advantage ... it's not clear that he can make jobs come back depending on what he does in these agreements."</p><p>The Columbia professor said there needs to be "more appreciation of facts and reality" on the subject, adding that the majority of jobs that went abroad may "have gone abroad anyway regardless of these agreements." And even doing a better deal with China to return manufacturing jobs would provide an uncertain result, Shapiro said, since "now, jobs are leaving China for other countries for the same reasons they left here."</p><p>One message he thought was encouraging to see in the memo was the discussion of weighing the potential benefits and setbacks of some of the moves.</p><p>"We haven't heard a good discussion about what the pros and cons are in terms of what are the consequences, in terms of what negative effects terminating the agreements would have," he said. "There is definitely no discussion of that at all."</p><p>Sue Welch, the CEO of Bamboo Rose, a digital business-to-business marketplace for product and supply chain management, said the moves discussed in the memo, particularly regarding NAFTA, would crush the economy.</p><p>"What about the other 14 to 15 million Americans dependent on NAFTA for their livelihood?" she said. "You have to balance."</p><p>Welch said it would have a negative effect on labor in the US, would be damaging to the supply chains between the US, Canada, and Mexico, and would cause prices to rise across the board, particularly at giants such as Walmart.</p><p>The entire blueprint, she said, would be "kind of a lose-lose situation."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/law-prohibits-trump-naming-children-cabinet-ivanka-jared-kushner-2016-11">Why Ivanka can't serve in a Trump cabinet</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="VyamFuNzE6S-ts2u096XMzWg86aZnqPz" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
