In a statement, the US Commerce Department said the renewable, two-year memorandum would "enhance the availability of and access to trade financing options for US and Singapore companies." "This (memorandum of understanding) will help Singapore importers finance the purchase of US exports and support Singapore investors looking at opportunities in the US," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in the statement. The agreement made in the final weeks of US President Donald Trump's administration comes after Singapore last week signed a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom following Britain's departure from the European Union.

The products - Blue Frog Zesty Raspberry with Coconut & Toasted Almonds Gluten Free Cereal and Blue Frog Apricot with Vanilla & Hemp Heart Gluten Free Cereal - were imported into Singapore by Home & Health Distributors.

Global integration will help S’pore firms grow, create jobs: Iswaran

Singapore should guard itself against nativist tendencies that can harm economic growth, warned Communications and Information Minister S. Iswaran yesterday. Mr Iswaran told virtual participants at a Singapore Business Federation (SBF) event that the country should persevere with its strategy of global integration despite the coronavirus-induced recession. Part of the plan is to have more free trade agreements (FTAs), digital economy agreements and regional trading blocs such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and the Asean Trade In Goods Agreement, he added. These pacts help local firms grow and aid multinational companies in basing their regional and global operations here, in turn, creating jobs for Singaporeans, said Mr Iswaran, who is also Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations. "Obviously, we are in a challenging economic environment, and how we emerge from this is going to depend critically on the manner of our response," he added. Mr Iswaran, who made his remarks at SBF's FTA Day 2020, said that using the pandemic crisis as an excuse to retreat from free trade and openness might bring some short-term sense of righteousness, but "in the long term, it is going ...
