The United States, under an administration headed by George Bush, probably would not support Soviet aims to participate in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, U.S. Trade Representative Clayton K. Yeutter said. “That is not likely to be a position that would be taken by a Bush Administration, certainly not in the short run,” Yeutter said at a campaign news conference on behalf of Bush, the Republican presidential nominee. Yeutter said bringing the Soviet Union, with its centralized economic system, into the free trade-oriented GATT “would provide great opportunity for mischief in the conduct of international trade.”
