Delayed Trade Agreements Sent to Congress

(WASHINGTON) — The White House sent three long-delayed trade agreements to Congress Monday, putting the deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama on a path toward final passage after years in political limbo.


In a statement, President Barack Obama said the deals would make it easier for U.S. companies to sell their products overseas, and he called on Congress to approve the agreements without delay.

"These agreements will support tens of thousands of jobs across the country for workers making products stamped with three proud words: Made in America," he said.
