<abstract displayLabel="Summary">United States Trade Developments, 2017-2018, provides an overview of the most relevant developments in United States trade relations with Latin America and the Caribbean and of the measures that inhibit the free flow of goods among countries in the Western Hemisphere. This is an annual report elaborated by the ECLAC Washington Office.
In 2018, United States trade actions followed closely the goals outlined in the 2018 U.S. trade agenda of assertiveness in enforcing U.S. trade laws and negotiating bilateral rather than multilateral trade agreements to better use the weight of the U.S. economy in favor of U.S. national interests. As a result, 2018 was noticeable by the proliferation of U.S. tariffs increases on the grounds of serious injury to a U.S. industry (solar cells and washing machines), threatening to impair U.S. national security (steel and aluminum) and discriminatory or unresonable practices (tariffs against China affecting up to US$250 billion in trade). Also this year the U.S. renegotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the South Korea-U.S. agreement (KORUS), and President Trump formally announced the intent to start bilateral trade talks with the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom</abstract>
