“With the KORUS FTA implementing legislation signed by the President exactly four months ago, the NFTC welcomes today’s announcement and commends the Administration for working with the South Korean government toward swift implementation of this important agreement.
“Once the agreement enters into force, American companies, workers, farmers and ranchers will begin to reap the benefits of the FTA, which will increase U.S. competitiveness in a critical market, create and support thousands of American jobs and boost the U.S. economy, in addition to strengthening ties with a key geo-strategic partner.
“We urge the Administration to keep this momentum going and work as efficiently as possible to work with the Colombian and Panamanian governments to implement the U.S.-Colombia and U.S.-Panama FTAs as soon as possible.”
