"Boosting America's exports strengthens our economic growth and supports
 
      millions of good, high-paying American jobs," Obama told a White 
House 
      gathering. "That's why I set a goal during my State of the Union 
address 
      to double our exports over the next five years. Since then, my 
      administration has worked to improve advocacy for our exporters, 
remove 
      trade barriers and enforce trade rules in an effort to ensure that
 the 
      benefits of global trade are broadly shared."
