Russia PNTR State Fact Sheets |
Russia will join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2012—after agreeing to open its market through tariff reductions and the removal of other trade barriers. Congress needs to pass Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) legislation to help U.S. exporters and workers compete for sales of their goods and services in Russia. Failure to pass PNTR would make it harder for them to compete. |

Taking Action for America: Open Markets for International Trade and Investment |
Vibrant and open markets for international trade and investment are a necessary prerequisite for generating new economic growth and job creation opportunities for U.S. businesses and workers. Increased use of bilateral and regional trade and investment agreements with like-minded countries and a strong system of multilateral agreements and rules under the WTO create these opportunities by eliminating trade and investment barriers and preventing discriminatory treatment of foreign goods, services and investment. In contrast, measures that close off markets from competition or are discriminatory quickly dampen international commerce and undermine economic growth and job creation. International trade and investment agreements are also essential to ensuring fair and competitive business practices across countries. |
