With multilateral negotiations, a country reduces its trade barriers without other countries also reducing their barriers. O exporters will fight any reductions in trade barriers. O import-competing domestic industries can count on support from foreign exporters in the same industries. opposing political interests can cancel each other out. the domestic industry lobby inevitably loses.
