Growing global fear and uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade
policy threatens to undermine America's strategic and economic
relationships. There is real concern that the U.S. is turning
inward and can no longer be considered a reliable partner in
advancing market-opening initiatives. The current, costly
lack of focus in America's trade policy has given way to creeping
protectionism in U.S. legislation and endangers 60 years of
progress toward increasing global trade flows - the very engine of
growth that has eased poverty and brought prosperity to so
many.
The opportunity to put America back on the right policy track
and bolster confidence in U.S. and global markets depends on
crafting a trade agenda that works for America and in advancing
long-pending trade deals with Colombia, Panama and South Korea.
