Richard, Clinton got a free trade agreement with Vietnam. China is in the bag. This is the free trade President, the gutsy All American Vietnam Anti War Protestor, who validated yet again that the whole Hawkish Dominoe Theory in regard to Southeast Asia was big time BS: U.S., Vietnam Sign Historic Trade Pact Thursday, July 13, 2000 04:54 PM EDT WASHINGTON (July 13) XINHUA - The United States and Vietnam on Thursday signed a historic trade agreement, President Bill Clinton announced at the White House. "From the bitter past, we plant the seeds of a better future," said Clinton. He described the agreement as "another historic step in the process of normalization, reconciliation, healing between our two nations." Clinton said the agreement signed by U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky and Vietnamese Trade Minister Vu Khoan would drastically open Vietnam's economy and increase trade between the two countries. Barshefsky and Khoan resumed trade talks last Thursday in a bid to finalize a trade pact after four years of on-and-off negotiations. The signing of the trade pact marked a major step toward completing the normalization process which began on July 11, 1995, when Clinton extended diplomatic ties to Vietnam. The trade agreement must be approved by the U.S. Congress before taking effect. Under the agreement, Vietnam would reduce its tariffs and undertake a series of measures to open its markets to U.S. goods, services and investment. In return, Vietnam would get access to the U.S. market under the same system of low tariffs accorded most nations. Copyright XINHUA NEWS AGENCY PS ROCK ON, Richard!
