Abstract: In a |keynote| address delivered to an audience of automobile industry representatives (International Association for Vehicle Design Fourth Congress, 2 March 1987, Geneva, Switzerland), the Executive Vice President of Chrysler Motors Corporation addresses the problems of the USA|s massive federal budget deficit. The problems of US trade are intertwined with the problems of the competitiveness of US industry, and the author argues that rather than slide into short-term protectionism, the USA should address the long-term issues of competitiveness for the 1990s.

Keywords: US trade; US federal budget deficit; competitiveness; protectionism; dumping; Chrysler Motors Corporation; automobile industry; USA; United States.
