"Buy American" Policy Subverting Fair Trade?
"Buy American" Policy Subverting Fair Trade?
The Issue
The Obama Administration's: "Buy American" Policy, recently enacted, is "stealth protectionism". Since it's introduction in the 800-billion-dollar stimulus package, international governments have accused the U.S. of preaching free trade, while enforcing international trade restrictions.
Since the Obama Administration does not address how this will effect Fair Trade, a petition asking for a definition of where this Administration stands on Fair Trade and it's policy toward social economic justice is urged.
