Foreign industrial targeting: US trade law remedies
Many US business leaders have been increasingly concerned that foreign industrial targeting, the coordinated government support of specific industries, puts US firms at an unfair disadvantage. However, most nations, including the United States, provide some support. Distinguishing between ''fair'' and ''unfair'' targeting practices requires examining the facts of each case. Determining whether US business has been hurt by foreign practices also must be resolved on a case-by-case basis. As mandated by the Trade and Tariff Act of 1984, this report examines issues surrounding foreign industrial targeting and the applicability of current US trade laws. GAO believes that current law provides the opportunity to adequately address foreign targeting practices.
