This agreement is a win-win situation for U.S. and EU winemakers, helping to establish predictable conditions for bilateral wine trade, ... I want to thank Chief Agricultural Negotiator Allen Johnson and especially Jim Murphy, Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Agricultural Affairs, who have brought this difficult negotiation to a successful conclusion.  The culmination of this agreement reflects the extensive efforts by a number of Federal agencies in these negotiations and in particular the work done by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in the Treasury Department.

I’m optimistic about a comprehensive agreement with China because I think it makes sense for China and for the US,

Accordingly, I believe that the accession package, both our bilateral agreement and the broader multilateral negotiation which is nearing completion, will warrant US support,

I believe this textile agreement is an example of how the U.S. and China do have the ability to resolve tough trade disputes in a manner that benefits both countries,

Our country needs people who are maybe a little less focused on themselves and on the flash and a little more focused on how do we actually create a better environment for success for our young people, how do we get people back to work, how do we regain our standing internationally.
