RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN NAFTA Melissa Long I. INTRODUCTION HE overriding theme in the current state of NAFTA centers on whether or not renegotiation of the free trade agreement should happen in the near future. This paper will address a few of the prominent issues facing NAFTA right now. First, U.S. lawmakers and unions are currently challenging the U.S. pilot program allowing for Mex- ican trucks on U.S. highways. Second, farmers in the United States and Mexico are questioning the agreement generally, and the sugar industry of both nations is specifically concerned. The issue was discussed at the summit of North American leaders in New Orleans in April 2008. Fi- nally, this issue will examine the future of NAFTA, as it seems to be in great peril due to anti-NAFFA stances being taken by both of the demo- cratic presidential candidates in the United States.

  • Former Secretaries of Commerce Urge Congress to Pass Trade Promotion Authority
    Former Secretaries of Commerce Urge Congress to Pass Trade Promotion Authority March 25, 2015 As former Secretaries of Commerce, we strongly support Trade Promotion Authority for President Obama. From our experience, it is critically important for American businesses to access new customer markets while staying competitive in the world economy. American companies grow and succeed in the global market place through high-quality high-standard trade agreements that help our firms gain access to new overseas markets. With 95 percent of the world’s consumers living outside the United States, we must not allow opportunities to pass us by. Last year, the U.S. exported $2.34 trillion dollars of goods and services. Those exports support a total of 11.7 million American jobs at over 300,000 companies – 98 percent of which are small and medium sized businesses. These numbers are especially important as export-related jobs pay up to 18 percent more on average than non-export-related jobs. New U.S. trade agreements will generate more export opportunities for American companies, boost our economy, create jobs, and yield overall prosperity for our country. Currently the U.S. government is working on two key trade agreements that have the potential to open overseas markets for U.S. companies. Once completed, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) will give the United States free trade arrangements with 65 percent of global GDP and give our businesses preferential access to a large base of new potential customers. But before we can finalize those agreements and our businesses can benefit from the new markets, Congress must pass trade promotion legislation.
