US Trade Representative praises textile members for supporting CAFTA-DR

26/07/2005
US Trade Representative Rob Portman has praised key Members of Congress interested in textiles issues for their support of CAFTA-DR.

"The Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement is a great agreement for the American textile industry and American textile workers because it strengthens our relationship between yarn and fabric makers in the US and apparel producers in Central America. Furthermore, it solidifies a market in our hemisphere that will enable our textile industry to compete against Asia.”
