Bush defends US-China trade

EAST PEORIA, United States - US President George W. Bush, launching a two-day campaign to tout his economic priorities, defended growing US trade with China while acknowledging it was "controversial."

In remarks at the US bulldozer-maker Caterpillar, Bush also urged the US Congress, held by opposition Democrats for the first time in a dozen years, not to raise taxes and to embrace his free-trade agenda.

"We're going to continue negotiating free trade agreements," he said. "I'm confident in our ability to sell American products and services overseas if the playing field is level."

"The temptation is to say trade may not be worth it, let's isolate ourselves, let's protect ourselves," Bush said in the speech. "I know it would be a mistake for Caterpillar's workers to do that. I know it's a bad mistake for the country to lose our confidence and not compete," he added.

"I understand trade with China is considered controversial, I know that," Bush told workers and managers. "But I want to tell you something, if you're a Caterpillar worker, or a Caterpillar shareholder, what that has meant."

"Opening China's market" has sent the heavy-machinery manufacturer's sales there up 40 percent, which helped create 5,000 new jobs in the United States, said the president, who did not mention lingering Sino-US economic disputes.

The US president was to appeal in a more formal "state of the economy" speech in New York's Wall Street financial district on Wednesday for lawmakers to renew his sweeping trade negotiation powers, which lapse June 30.

Leading Democrats say they are open to renewing the former "fast-track," provided the legislation includes worker protections from dislocations fueled by free trade, and stronger labor and environmental provisions.

Trade Promotion Authority binds the US Congress to yes-or-no votes on any trade deals the president negotiates.

"It requires a great deal of trust, and Congress must have some key assurances before it is willing to extend this leverage," said Democrat Charlie Rangel, chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
