Concluding remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, Ms. Sunanta Kangvalkulkij of Thailand at the Trade Policy Review of the United States, 17 and 19 December 2018
This fourteenth Trade Policy Review of the United States has once again allowed Members to take a close look at the economic trade and investment policies of the world’s single largest trader and a key Member of the WTO. I would like to thank H.E. Ambassador Dennis C. Shea and his dedicated team for their forthright and active engagement. My gratitude also goes to our discussant Ambassador Frances Lisson for her thoughtful comments and remarks and last but not least to the 66 delegations that took the floor during these two days.

Services domestically important and in some areas sensitive to both economies need to be liberalized as an important means of improving overall productivity and economic performance.
