Re the June 16 editorial What a difference six years make, about progress in Colombia: I could not agree more. While working for a member of the U.S. Congress, I participated in two congressional staff trips to Colombia in 1999 and 2002. During those years, illegal forces controlled large swaths of territory. Kidnappings and countryside massacres were a frequent occurrence. Many municipalities did not even have a government presence. ... Source: www.gmanews.tv --- 20 days ago

Republican presumptive presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, who over the weekend went head to head with Democratic rival Barack Obama over the issue of immigration (see La Plaza posts here and here), heads down to Latin America today in a tour expected to include Mexico and Colombia. McCain is expected to focus on the issues of Free Trade and illegal immigration during his trip south. McCain is a strong supporter of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, among the U.S., Canada and Mexico. But the Trade deal has proved unpopular with many on both sides of the border. Although Trade has grown since the agreement was signed, Ohio’s manufacturing-heavy economy has suffered some of the steepest job losses of the last decade. It is hard to say precisely which losses were attributable directly to NAFTA, but Robert Scott, a Trade expert at the liberal Economic Policy Institute, estimates that about 50,000 jobs in Ohio were lost between 1994 and 2004 as a result of NAFTA, says this report from the Los Angeles Times. Likewise, Mexican farmers were out in force in February protesting the lifting of Trade restrictions, thanks to NAFTA, on agricultural commodities like corn, rice and oats (see a video below). The farmers claimed lifting the restrictions will put them out of work because they won't be able to compete with powerful U.S. agribusinesses. They wanted the Pact rewritten. McCain is also a strong supporter of the stalled fre ... Source: www.huffingtonpost.com --- 5 days ago
On Tuesday, Sen. John McCain will travel to Colombia to highlight his support for a Free Trade Pact with that country. It is a trip that comes with a share of political risk. While the Arizona Republican is hoping to showcase his command of the world stage, his venture south of the border raises concerns from those opposed to his Trade policies. Already, his position as an independent arbitrator on Colombia - a country often criticized for its labor and human rights practices - is undermined by a bevy of advisers who have earned large amounts either lobbying for the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, or representing corporations that do business with that country. On some occasions, these companies have been linked to the killings of union workers and other civilians, sometimes in collusion with Colombia's government or allied paramilitary groups. McCain's chief political adviser, Charlie Black, represented the oil-giant Occidental Petroleum from 2001 through 2007, in the process earning $1.6 million in fees for his firm, according to lobbying records. Among the issues on which he lobbied included the Colombia Free Trade Agreement (though also general energy topics concerning Middle East countries). Occidental gained a certain amount of political infamy when its security company was accused of bombing a Colombian village and killing 18 people in 1998. The company, which works with the country's military forces to protect an oil pipelin ... Source: cnews.canoe.ca --- 16 days ago

United States Republican presidential candidate John McCain has met with President Alvaro Uribe while on a 24-hour visit to Columbia. Mr McCain praised the Columbian president for his efforts to thwart the FARC rebel movement and curb cocaine production. The US presidential candidate used the occasion to urge the US Congress to pass a Free-Trade deal between the two nations. The Democrat-led Congress has obstructed the Trade Pact, arguing it will lead to the loss of US jobs. Mr McCain's next stop on a tour that is seen as a way of scoring political points against Democrat rival Barack Obama, is Mexico. By profiling himself as an experienced politician in foreign affairs, Mr McCain's campaigners hope to boost his image among Hispanics, most of whom support the Democrats. Mr Obama has scheduled a trip to Europe and the Middle East. ... Find more search results for Free Trade Pact on RSSMicro.com |
