Abstract:

The United States and Singapore have completed negotiations on a free-trade agreement that would, with a phase-in period, eliminate tariffs on all goods traded between them, cover trade in services, and protect intellectual property rights. The agreement is expected to be submitted for legislative approval in late January 2003 with an implementation date in 2004. This report will be updated as circumstances warrant.
