THE UNITED STATES is not keen on a free trade agreement (FTA) with the Philippines or any of its trading partners, its trade chief said on Tuesday.
“In terms of a more traditional FTA, we are not currently negotiating any such agreements with our trading partners because we do not see that traditional program being appropriate for the types of challenges and opportunities that we are facing right now,” United States Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai said during a media roundtable in Makati City on Tuesday.
