US Office of Trade Representative
The Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) is organized through the Executive Office of the President and works to coordinate and administer trade policies all over the globe (USTR, N.d.). USTR provides trade policy leadership and negotiating expertise in its major areas of responsibility, including such services as:
Bilateral, regional and multilateral trade and investment issues
Expansion of market access for American goods and services
International commodity agreements
Negotiations affecting U.S. import policies
Oversight of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) and Section 301 complaints
Trade, commodity, and direct investment matters managed by OECD and others
Trade-related intellectual property protection issues
World Trade Organization (WTO) issues
In order to provide such ambitious services in the effort to further world trade, the USTR works directly with the US Congress as well as team of external advisors, which includes approximately seven hundred professionals organized into multiple tiers, who ensures that the USTR represents the US and their interest during any trade negotiations.
The US currently has trade agreements in force with twenty countries in all the major regions of the world. Interestingly, the website states that the US has completed negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement and is in negotiations of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) with the European Union, which is likely outdated given the fact that the newly elected president has cancelled these agreements before they were enacted. The USTR also is categorized into different issues in which they consider when drafting any trade agreements which include agriculture, environment, labor, and many more. However, since this is a function of the Executive Branch, it is likely that many of the issues will be reprioritized when the new president’s priorities are listed.
