Colombian President Alvaro Uribe on Tuesday said President Obama is “very interested in moving ahead” with a controversial trade agreement with the South American nation.
Uribe described a Monday afternoon meeting with Obama as constructive, and said the trade deal was vital to bringing prosperity to his country.
“We need the free trade agreement as a sign to investors from all over the world to be much more confident in Colombia,” Uribe said in comments at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
Uribe met with Obama on Monday at the White House. They discussed the trade deal, as well as the weekend coup in Honduras and problems stemming from drug trafficking.
Obama said Monday he was “confident that ultimately we can strike a deal that is good for the people of Colombia and good for the people of the United States,” but declined to offer a timetable for getting the agreement done. He suggested it would take time to consult with Congress.
