U.S., Uruguay enter trade and investment agreement
The United States and Uruguay entered a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement on Jan. 25.
The agreement lays out a program seeking improvements to bilateral trade and investments between the two countries. Agricultural issues and intellectual property protections, among other aspects, will be a top priority.
Through the agreement, the countries will form a U.S.-Uruguay Council on Trade and Investment. Technical teams from both sides will start to exchange proposals to prepare for the first council meeting in Washington in April.
