WASHINGTON—“I commend President Bush’s bold leadership to restore momentum to the free trade agenda and help developing countries around the world. Today President Bush outlined an ambitious trade agenda that challenges the world to eliminate trade barriers and trade-distorting subsidies. This will open new markets to our farmers, manufacturers and exporters.
“Fulfilling this bold mission will require diligent effort within the upcoming Doha round. Together we can open a new era in which every entrepreneur, farmer and manufacturer has an opportunity to build on the benefits of free trade. Working together, we can help developing nations grow, lift their economies and reward their citizens.”
