US-Uruguay Partnership: Trade and Visa Facilitation

This act aims to strengthen economic ties between the United States and Uruguay.

Key points
Uruguay may be included in the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, facilitating trade with the U.S.
Uruguayan citizens may obtain E1/E2 nonimmigrant status (traders and investors) in the U.S., subject to reciprocity from Uruguay.
U.S. Congress recommends a review of Uruguay's eligibility for the visa waiver program, which would ease tourist and business travel.
