Schwab Leads Bipartisan Congressional Delegation to Colombia

Medellin, Colombia (April 4)—U.S. Trade Representative Susan C. Schwab led a bipartisan congressional delegation to Colombia where they met with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, local labor leaders, members of the business community, demobilized combatants, as well as supporters and opponents of the U.S. – Colombia FTA. Schwab is pictured with the delegation at the El Trigal Flower Farm. Colombian flowers are just one example of Colombian exports which currently enter U.S. markets duty-free. The FTA would level the playing field for American exports into Colombia. (Colombia FTA)
