Business US Trade Negotiators Confident About Congress Approval

The US trade negotiators said in Hong Kong on November 16 that they were confident that the deal on China' s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) would be approved by the US Congress.

Speaking in Hong Kong on her way back to the United States, US trade representative Charlene Barshefsky said she believed lawmakers will support them.

Gene Sperling, the National Economic Council Director or White House Economic Advisor, agreed.

"We have consulted with the Congress and much of what we have been looking for over the last few months have been precisely things the members of the Congress have told us they thought were important for their support," said Sperling.

"We were very much trying to bring back a package that was not only something we thought strong economically, but something that members of the Congress in the public would agree with us," he added. (Xinhua)
