In 1993 U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor had to deal with pressure from China, India and other developing nations who were are worried about U.S. plans to extend the phase-out of the Multi Fiber Agreement (MFA) from 10 to 15 years.
Granted Bush's Uruguay Round was finally signed April 15 94 and took effect July 1, 1995.
But why are we blaming Clinton or Nafta ???
Folks - we have here a GOP agreement modified by Clinton while he still had a Dem Congress. At the time the WTO and the GOP and the Wall Street Journal were screaming "trade not aid"
And Clinton got killed for delaying the phase out
