From the supplier: The US appears to be promoting GATT and free trade for primarily selfish reasons. The US pushed for a regional trading bloc with Canada as a means of forcing the once reluctant EC into GATT discussions. However, the US appears likely to continue relying on such tactics even after GATT is ratified and truly free, multilateral trade has been established. US negotiators alternately push for free trade and regionalism depending on the interests of the US economy. The international pursuit of free trade for its own sake is likely to overtake American political leaders, who focus too much on domestic concerns.
