Obama moves for global round of fresh trade talks

摘要

Faced with sluggish jobs growth and failure of the Doha round, the Obama Administration has set in motion an ambitious global round of trade talks covering Europe and much of Asia, which is bound to influence countries such as China, India and Brazil, says a media report. "Going through this crisis and recovery has pushed us all to focus on what it is we can do to create jobs and growth in every area of policy. If we are able to execute on this, it will be the most ambitious trade agenda in a very long time," Mike Froman, Deputy National Security Advisor, was quoted as saying by The Washington Post, The report said recently that if the effort pays off, it could boost some of America's most competitive and important companies. According to the daily, finance and consulting firms would be able to move more deeply into Europe, Japan and some developing countries.
