Bush jumps in and Vows Push On Trade, vowed to revive the country's free-trade agenda, and he chastised corporate America for behavior that is adding to the public's anxiety.In an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "We have lost our confidence in the ability to compete internationally." Mr. Bush pledged to turn the situation around. ... His statements reflect a new White House strategy of acknowledging economic imbalances as a way of gaining credibility to push a final handful of free-trade agreements through a skeptical Democratic-controlled Congress. Those agreements include trade deals with Colombia, Panama, Peru and South Korea. The White House also is seeking a breakthrough in the long-stalled Doha Round of global trade talks. ELMAT: There's an anti-globalization sentiment, in the US, at a time when the US needs to boost international trade!!! Democrats won control of Congress in 2006, in part on the strength of antitrade and antiglobalization sentiment among voters, and similar feelings are already roiling the unfolding 2008 campaign. ELMAT: Bush knows that the exports will turn things around and want to put pressure in the Democrats.
