Session 11: U.S. Trade Policy

Previous Session | Program | Next Session

U.S. Trade Policy? We've come a long way since the passage of NAFTA 10 years ago and now we look forward to a range of trade policy issues that confront businesses faced with shifting cost structures and intense competition from foreign competitors. At issue are jobs, market access, and, of course, free and fair trade.
