Question

why did clinton agree to the revisions of the general agreement on tariffs and trade?
○ to increase taxes on services moving between the united states, mexico, and canada
○ to reduce international tariffs on industrial goods by forty percent
○ to increase us tariffs on agricultural products by forty percent
○ to end many taxes on goods traded among the united states, mexico, and canada

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) aimed at reducing trade barriers. Reducing international tariffs on industrial goods by forty percent aligns with the core objective of GATT to promote free trade. Increasing taxes (tariffs) on services or agricultural products goes against the spirit of GATT. Ending taxes on goods traded among the US, Mexico, and Canada is more related to NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) rather than GATT's main focus on broader international trade (though there could be some overlap in principles, but the key GATT - related action here is the tariff reduction on industrial goods).

Answer:

to reduce international tariffs on industrial goods by forty percent
