George Bush, Anti-Trade Protectionist…
This week, Bush has:
– suggested that he will not lift the steel tariffs that were declared illegal by the WTO
– undermined efforts for a substantive FTAA deal, by moving toward bilateral trade negotiations
– applied new tariffs to imports of textiles from China, at the risk of starting a trade war
The anti-trade protectionist forces in the US apparently have an staunch ally in this Republican president.
