Excerpt
Excerpt: The 2005 National Export Strategy Report The U.S.?Jordan FTA entered into force on December 17, 2001. On January 1, 2004, FTAs with Chile and Singapore went into effect. Also in 2004, we concluded, and Congress approved, FTAs with Australia and Morocco. The United States has also completed negotiations on FTAs with Bahrain and five countries of Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) and the Dominican Republic. The latter agreement, known as the U.S.?Dominican Republic?Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA - DR), will increase economic growth, opportunity, and democracy in our neighborhood while providing strong protections for labor and the environment. The agreement moves our trade relationship with this region from one driven by the unilateral trade preferences the United States has provided since 1985 through the Caribbean Basin Initiative to a relationship governed by a reciprocal trade agreement.
