The Bahrain/US FTA is a unique springboard into the US market place. The US currently only has 8 bilateral trade agreements with the following countries: Australia, Singapore, Chile, Morocco, Israel, Jordan, and Bahrain and as of January I, 2009, Oman. However, the single most liberal FTA, now and for the foreseeable future is the one the US has with Bahrain. Bahrain enjoys free and open access to the US market. |
