• Pursue new trade agreements.
• Reduce non-tariff barriers.
• Improve competitiveness with investments in infrastructure and trade facilitation initiatives.
• Pursue a Doha Round agreement that expands world trade.

Hello, the National Export Initiative is an excellent initiative to offset the recession.
America has a huge trade deficit with Africa: we import four times more from Africa than they buy from us (84 billions of import to USA versus 18 billions of exports to Africa in 2008), hard to believe isn't it?
Needless to say that the National Export Initiative validated the existence of our company launched in July of 2009 to export US equipments and machineries to Africa (where the demand is very high in the sectors of Water, Sanitation, Construction, Agriculture and Energy).
Our focus is to export as many American technological goods as possible...products such as hand pumps, wind turbines, flood pumps, solar water treatment systems, water exploration tools and construction machineries. We have acquired great US suppliers but financing has been a real problem since banks have heightened their credit requirements drastically so we cannot qualify for a bank loan.
How can we obtain financing assistance for initial inventory from the National Export Initiative?
Our company is a direct response to the export challenges of America: we find compatible products with foreign markets, we find the international buyers and allow the export of US goods. Any suggestions for our obstacles?
Thanks

The increase of exports would be an excellent way to increase the numbers of jobs in the United States. However, we should keep in mind that other countries will buy our exports only if they are able to sell theirs in United States. The National Export Initiative should aim to increase exports without putting limitations on imports.
The various effects of limitations on imports have been seen in a variety of industries. For example, when President Bush put limitations on steel imports in 2002, industry suffered and the number of jobs declined. According to one study by Trade Partnership Worldwide, LLC, approximately 200,000 Americans lost their jobs due to the tariff on steel. Furthermore, the study claims that every U.S. state experienced job loss from the tariff. Tariffs and limitations on imports can adversely affect the U.S. job market.
Although the National Export Initiative aims to “facilitate the creation of jobs in the United States through the promotion of exports,” I suggest that policies regarding imports and tariff are examined as well in order to prevent job loss.

It's really important to improve the export as it will improve local employment rate. As the recession is almost over its time to look out and expand our businesses worldwide. The information provided and points raised on those links are very helpful.
