NEGOTIATING A US-BRITISH TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP, COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION 200 YEARS AGO

      Here's Washington Trade Daily's Jim Berger and US Trade Representative Michael Froman discussing how the United States and Britain negotiated a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation 200 years ago -- a precursor to the current series of bilateral investment treaties. First British ships sailed past Baltimore, then troops scared away defenders in Bladensburg and marched to Washington to burn the Capitol and run President and Mrs. Madison out of the White House.
