Resumen

United States Trade Developments, 2007-2008 provides an overview of the most relevant developments in United States trade relations with Latin America and the Caribbean and of the measures that inhibit the free flow of goods among countries in the Western Hemisphere. This new document combines the two annual reports previously prepared by the ECLAC Washington Office.

Trade flows between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean continued to increase during most part of 2008. The top three trade partners in the region continue to be Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela but trade with Colombia, Peru and Argentina has been growing significantly as well. U.S. policy developments in 2008 revolved around the passage of the 2008 Conservation and Energy Act (Farm Bill), General System of Preferences (GSP) and Andean Trade Preferences and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) extensions, seeking Congressional passage of Free Trade Agreements with Colombia, Panama, and Korea and the launching of the Pathways to Prosperity in the Americas Initiative.

With respect to market access and trade inhibiting measures disputes over U.S.-Mexico cross border trucking have dominated the agenda.
