Russia will join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2012—after agreeing to open its market through tariff reductions and the removal of other trade barriers. Congress needs to pass Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) legislation to help U.S. exporters and workers compete for sales of their goods and services in Russia. Failure to pass PNTR would make it harder for them to compete.
