- Excerpt from Made in America: U.S. Manufacturing and the President's 2015 Trade Policy Agenda:

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued President Obama's 2015 Trade Policy Agenda (the President's Trade Agenda) on March 4. Many of the policy goals in the President's Trade Agenda are objectives that we reported on last year.

The President's Trade Agenda describes the comeback of "Made in America" and the importance of the manufacturing sector in America's recovery from the Great Recession. The President's Trade Agenda further explains that record exports have helped to create 900,000 manufacturing jobs and have led to a 30 percent increase in manufacturing output in the past five years. This has triggered investment in new factories and the return of manufacturing jobs from overseas. In order to preserve these achievements, the President's Trade Agenda explains that a threshold requirement of any trade negotiations this year will be "to pursue trade policies aimed at keeping American manufacturers competitive with their global peers."
