The Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which was approved by Congress in 2003, is a state-of-the-art agreement that eliminates bilateral tariffs, lowers
trade barriers, promotes economic integration and expands opportunities for the
peoples of both countries. U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick signed the agreement
on behalf of the United States, and Chilean Foreign Minister Soledad Alvear
signed for Chile, at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami. The U.S.- Chile
FTA is the first free trade agreement between the United States and a South
American country. |
