The presidency of Harry S. Truman began on April 12, 1945, when Harry S. Truman became President of the United States upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and ended on January 20, 1953. He had been Vice President of the United States for only 82 days when he succeeded to the presidency. A Democrat from Missouri, he ran for and won a full four–year term in the 1948 election. Under the terms of the agreement, each country agreed to reduce overall tariff rates and to treat each co-signatory as a 'most favoured nation,' meaning that no non-signatory country could benefit from more advantageous tariff rates.
