Barack Obama actually said...

"that no foreign company has an advantage over American manufacturing when it comes to accessing new markets like Russia."

"President Obama has established extending Permanent Normal Trade Relations to Russia and terminating application of Jackson-Vanik to Russia as a major priority."

"The Jackson-Vanik Amendment--enacted vis-a-vis the former Soviet Union--long ago fulfilled its purpose with regard to Russia: to support free emigration, particularly Jewish emigration."

"A united and prosperous Europe is of enormous interest and importance--indeed vital importance--to the United States."
