In the past 20 years the United States has entered into several "free trade agreements." The commonality of these free trade agreement has been making it easier for foreign companies to sell their goods in the United States (imports) and for American companies to sell their goods overseas (exports). In your initial post, summarize the key points of specific trade agreement the United States has entered into in the last 25 years. Be sure to include the other counties involved and what kinds of trade restrictions and/or tariffs were changed as a result of that agreement. Include citations at the end of your post (should be easy to find info on trade agreements on the web). In your response posts please discuss how you think these trade agreements have impacted the United States. Be sure to include in your response something about which Americans benefit form the agreement, which Americans are hurt by the agreement, and the impact the agreement has had on GDP.

Explanation:

This trade agreement reduced 80% of tariffs that used to applied to goods exported from the U.S. to Colombia, and from Colombia to the U.S.

The agreement benefits consumers in both countries because it allows each country to specialize in the production of those goods that they do best, for example, coffee in the case of Colombia, and industrial goods in the case of the United States.

However, because the United States is a much more powerful country, with a higher level of development, consumers in the US have benefited more than Colombian consumers.
