Action for Trade is a coalition of American trade associations and businesses from across the economy, including services, manufacturing, and agriculture, that is dedicated to ensuring that U.S. trade agreements are high-standard in ambition and comprehensive in scope.
It is only through comprehensive agreements that the United States can:
- Create jobs at home;
- Accelerate broad-based economic growth;
- Advance American trade leadership around the world;
- Fulfill all of Congress’ negotiating objectives; and
- Address the numerous challenges facing American businesses in the modern economy.
Comprehensive trade agreements should:
- Ensure transparent and non-discriminatory treatment for U.S. businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises;
- Open new markets for U.S. exports;
- Fully protect American intellectual property abroad;
- Eliminate foreign barriers to trade; and
- Facilitate trade through reducing red tape and increasing regulatory cooperation.
Whether the United States is completing an agreement with Japan, pursuing a new agreement with the United Kingdom, or launching negotiations with other trading partners, Action for Trade is committed to ensuring that U.S. trade negotiations deliver comprehensive and high-standard results.
