If we don't repeal Jackson-Vanik, we are going to be at that higher arbitrary rate against competitors from around the world.
If we don't repeal Jackson-Vanik and extend PNTR, we have none of those protections.
I think if there is any area that the administration has distinguished ourselves in, it is at our very strong elevation of trade enforcement to the same level that we have for opening up new markets.
Terminating Jackson-Vanik and extending PNTR to Russia is in the absolute best interests of American businesses, workers, and innovators.
