It's a trade negotiator's nightmare. The Costa Rican Supreme Court has announced plans to review the United States-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) to assess the impact of that agreement upon civil liberties and human rights.

A delegation of business leaders has set off for the United States to promote a Taiwan-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
The full text of the free trade agreement with the United States has been released. To the masses who have grown weary of the almost two months of the government's self-congratulatory propaganda about how well it did in the negotiations that ended in April, the news is like welcome rain after a long drought. Did not someone say the trade deal was "like a second founding of the nation," in order to say the economic negotiations are the biggest news since Dangun's founding of the Korean nation in 2333 B.C.E.?
