Rejection of U.S. Protectionism Urged
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- It is an urgent demand of the era at present to reject the U.S. protective trade policy and establish a new fair international economic order, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed article.

Though it is a prime mover of the worldwide financial crisis, the United States persists in the unfair protectionist policy only to attain its selfish aims, the article notes, and goes on:

Proceeding from its selfish purposes, the U.S. is pursuing the protectionist policy in disregard of the demand of international laws and international economic relations and thus giving negative influence to the economic development of other countries and hindering the world economic development and creating complexity.

Protectionism of the U.S. is one of the methods to dominate and plunder other countries in the new century.

It is a unilateral and crafty predatory policy as it is designed to seek only the interests of the U.S. in trade dealing with other countries, disregarding their interests.

The first victim of this policy is developing countries.

The U.S. is exporting its surplus goods to them en masse by ceaselessly putting pressure to open their markets. But it is building high-tariff and non-tariff barriers against those countries' exports to it in a bid to restrain the advance of developing countries into its domestic markets and gain its own interests.

The reality clearly proves that the said policy is a tool of domination and plunder to rake up its own profits in reward of sacrificing others and a wrong trade economic policy to hinder the world economic trade development and put it into confusion.

The international movement opposing the policy is surfacing this year, the article notes, urging the U.S. to retract its unilateral and selfish policy.
