During the presidential campaign, we heard that we must restore our international reputation.
What about making friends with Colombia, a key country in South America.
IBD has a good one today about the US-Colombia relationship. It is called Fatal Naivete On Free Trade:
"At her Senate confirmation hearing last week, Hillary Clinton expressed confidence the U.S. alliance with Colombia will always be good, free-trade treaty or not.
But growing signs show she's got it wrong."
There is more:
"Although Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe sent a courteous message to welcome President Obama, Colombian officials have grown frustrated in the last two years, warning Democrats their friendship, which has cost them much blood and treasure, had limits."
Colombia is critical to our success in Latin America. It's important that we pass The Free Trade Agreement and let US companies do more business down there.
