New Zealand–United States relations
According to the U.S. State Department, relations between New Zealand and the United States as of August 2011 are "the best they have been in decades."[1] New Zealand is a major non-NATO ally of the United States.[2]
United States and New Zealand share common ancestry and comparable histories, having both been British colonies with indigenous populations. Both states have also been part of a Western alliance of states in various wars. Together with three other Anglophone countries, they comprise the Five Eyes espionage and intelligence alliance.
Several letters to the signed by Congressmen and women from both sides of the House – have recommended negotiations with New Zealand
President
Leading Senators Baucus, Grassley and, most recently, Senator and former presidential nominee have also advocated a negotiation with New Zealand
John McCain
Friends of New Zealand Caucus was established in the Congress in February 2005 led by Representatives Kolbe (R-Arizona) and Tauscher (D-California).
Congressional support is enhanced by the absence of any difficulty New Zealand might pose in terms of non-trade issues such as environment or labour.
