Members of Congress to USTR: Stop Making False Claims on the Trade Deficit

WASHINGTON, DC—(ENEWSPF)–March 19, 2015.  Members of Congress today refuted claims that United States Trade Representative Michael Froman is making about the trade deficit. Ambassador Froman has told Members of Congress that the U.S. has a trade surplus with its free trade agreement partners, which is in direct contradiction to U.S. International Trade Commission data showing the U.S. has a large goods trade deficit with its free trade agreement partners.
