During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Obama proposed a new Trade Enforcement Initiative designed to combat unfair trade practices.  In his remarks, the President stated “It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music and software be pirated.”  According the White House, the initiative includes the formation of a new trade enforcement unit to bring together resources and investigators from across the Federal Government to go after unfair trade practices in countries around the world, including China.  He also called for enhanced trade inspections to prevent counterfeit and pirated goods before they enter the U.S.
