The Bush administration will continue in 2004 to build on its trade accomplishments by promoting an "active and comprehensive" trade liberalization agenda, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) says. By pursuing multiple free trade initiatives, the United States is creating a "competition for liberalization" that provides leverage for greater openness in all negotiations, establishes models that can be used more broadly and gives free trade a "fresh" political impetus, Robert Zoellick said in an overview of the administration's 2004 Trade Policy Agenda, which was sent March 1 to Congress accompanied by the 2003 report on trade agreements.

Addressing the special needs of developing countries, Zoellick said that the United States -- already the largest single-country donor of trade-related technical assistance -- will continue to aid the developing world in boosting its trade capacity and integrating trade into development strategies.

Free trade bump.
