Question 2 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Why did Clinton agree to the revisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade?

B
to reduce international tariffs on industrial goods by forty percent
C
to increase US tariffs on agricultural products by forty percent
D
to end many taxes on goods traded among the United States, Mexico, and Canada

Explanation

Clinton supported the revisions to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade because they aimed to lower tariffs and promote international trade. The agreement called for reducing tariffs on industrial goods by about 40 percent. This made imported and exported goods less expensive; it did not raise tariffs on U.S. agricultural products or focus on trade only among the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
