Abstract:
Congress should act quickly on bilateral free trade agreements signed between the United States and allies Peru and Colombia. Such agreements benefit the economies of all partners and enhance a growing free trade bloc. Extending trade preferences for a short time to Bolivia and Ecuador could sustain market openings while leaders decide on permanent reciprocal agreements.
