The Summit of the Americas is an international secretariat not a "trade" organization. "free trade" AGREEMENTS are treaties, congress has declared them agreements. "free trade" is not agreements among nations, but agreements among the "member states" of the WTO.

You are so mixed up.

And your point is?

"free trade" AGREEMENTS are treaties, congress has declared them agreements.

What are you trying to say here?

"free trade" is not agreements among nations, but agreements among the "member states" of the WTO.

Again, what are you trying to get at here? All the WTO member states are nations, AFAIK. They have entered into a multilateral, rather than bilateral, agreement. Why do you consider such an arrangement to be any more sinister than, say, NATO, which is also a multilateral agreement?
