The Senate voted upon, and passed, the Peru FTA today. 77-18. The Presidential candidates were not voting.
The
agreement allows Peru to continue 19% tariffs against U.S. goods, in
the form of Value Added Taxes, while the U.S. unilaterally lowers
tariffs. A continuation of NAFTA-CAFTA. Hundreds of pages
of non-trade related items. Precedent for more giveaways.
Tough negotiators... you bet.
The roll call vote is below the fold. (read more).
