U.S. House approves bill to normalize trade relations with Russia
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday approved a bill that would normalize trade relations with Russia for the first time since the end of the Soviet1 Union, aiming to seize growing export opportunities from Russia's market.
With the measure passed in a vote of 365-43, the United States made an important step toward removing Cold War trade
restrictions2 and establishing permanent normal trade relations with Russia. Those trade restrictions against Russia were imposed in 1974 by the U.S. Congress.
Russia is one of very few countries that still do not have normal trade status with the United States. While Russia had joined the World Trade Organization (WTO), only countries that have permanent normal trade relations with it can take advantage of the lower trade barriers that come with WTO membership.
Recently, American businesses have been lobbying for the passage of the bill, which can prevent discrimination against American companies which want to enter Russian market, and lead to a doubling of U.S. exports to Russia.
The bill currently has been sent to the Senate, and the Democratic leadership has said it would consider it
promptly3 despite differences between the House and the Senate.
