It makes sense for Americans' goods and services to be treated just like Colombia's goods and services are treated.
What is the model for Members of Congress to follow as they move forward with this agreement?
My Administration looks forward to continuing to work with the Congress on a bipartisan path forward to secure approval of this legislation.
I am pleased to transmit legislation and supporting documents to implement the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement.
The result is an Agreement that all of us can be proud of.
This agreement will advance America's national security interests in a critical region.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you, so we'll be able to work through common problems and find common opportunities.
