Group.png Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations WebsiteRdf-entity.pngRdf-icon.png

The Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations (ACTPN) was created through the Trade Act of 1974[1] and is an advisory committee for the United States Trade Representative (USTR)[2]. The USTR was founded in 1962, has offices in Geneva and Brussels and works to...

'negotiate directly with foreign governments to create trade agreements, resolve disputes and participate in global trade policy organizations. They also meet with governments, business groups, legislators and public interest groups to gather input on trade issues and explain the president’s trade policy positions'[3].

'USTR is part of the Executive Office of the President. Through an interagency structure, USTR coordinates trade policy, resolves disagreements, and frames issues for presidential decision'. It is also 'responsible for developing and coordinating U.S. international trade, commodity, and direct investment policy, and overseeing negotiations with other countries'.[4].

ACTPN is reported to have 'helped President Bill Clinton sell Nafta to Congress in 1993, and then the Uruguay Round that launched the World Trade Organization in 1994-95'[5].
