Introduction
The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) was first established on a trial basis by the GATT contracting parties in April 1989. The Mechanism became a permanent feature of the World Trade Organization under the Marrakesh Agreement which established the WTO in January 1995.
Report by the WTO Secretariat
This is the 14th Trade Policy Review of the United States. Since the last Review in 2016 the focus of U.S. trade policy has shifted to adopting policies that are intended to support its national security and strengthen its economy. These priorities are reflected in the President’s 2018 Trade Policy Agenda which also calls for negotiating better trade deals enforcing U.S. trade laws and U.S. rights under existing trade agreements and reforming the multilateral trading system.
