For all you folks out there who are interested in international trade, the President's Trade Policy Agenda for 2009 has been made public. You can find the agenda along with the USTR annual report for 2008 here (pages 13-19).
The policy agenda, entitled "Making Trade Work For American Families," outlines several of the Obama administration's trade policy priorities, which include: Support a rules-based trading system; Advance the social accountability and political transparency of trade policy; Make trade an important policy tool for achieving progress on national energy and environmental goals; Make sure that trade agreements are addressing the major unresolved issues that are responsible for trade frictions; Build on existing Free Trade Agreements and Bilateral Investment Treaties in a responsible and transparent manner; Uphold our commitment to be a strong partner to developing countries, especially the poorest developing countries.
