The World Bank presidency is not about negotiating treaties, as Zoellick did when he was US Trade Representative. The Bank s most important role in development today is as a knowledge bank that helps aggregate, distill, and disseminate best practices from around the world.

The USTR s office has been reluctant to reveal its negotiating position even to members of the US Congress on the basis of what has been leaked, one can understand why.

The US led public relations blitzkrieg of euphemism has already begun, with US Assistant Trade Representative Wendy Cutler describing the latest PTA, the Trans Pacific Partnership, as a high standard agreement.

The USTR s office is backtracking on principles for example, access to generic medicines that Congress had inserted into earlier trade agreements, like that with Peru.
