US presidential race and free trade
Latin Business Chronicle has an article on US Presidential candidates and their views on free trade with Latin America. John Edwards, Democratic candidate, is the only one with a consistent critical stance of free trade agreements. Clinton and Obama both have mixed records, but both voted against DR-CAFTA in 2005.
It is important to point out that the US has already signed on to DR-CAFTA, as well as other Latin American FTAs (and in other regions). A Democrat in the White House in 2008 wouldn’t undo DR-CAFTA, but could put a halt on other, future, agreements.
