Washington Post: U.S. to Toughen Its Stance On Trade

Following yesterday's confirmation hearing for U.S. Trade Representative nominee Ron Kirk, today's Washington Post reports on the Obama Administration's proposed changes to U.S. Trade Policy:

Even as world trade takes its steepest drop in 80 years amid the global economic crisis, the administration is preparing to take a harder line with America's trading partners. It will seek new benchmarks before supporting already-written trade agreements with Colombia and South Korea and is suggesting that it will dig in its heels on global trade talks, demanding that other countries make broader concessions first.
Ron Kirk's prepared testimony presented to the Senate Finance Committee yesterday can be found here.
