World Trade Week

By PDS | 15 May 2005

Trade creates jobs, raises living standards, and lowers prices for families throughout the world. It also strengthens our relationships between countries, helping us to forge new partnerships based on a commitment to generate new prosperity and a better way of life for people throughout the world. World Trade Week provides an opportunity to recognize the many benefits of trade in strengthening economies and improving lives.

So says President Bush, and he has proclaimed next week "World Trade Week". So it is possibly not the best week for the President to be imposing quotas on Chinese textile imports.
