United States Congressman Henry Cuellar - Representing the 28th District of Texas

Trade

I am a strong supporter of Free trade and I have witnessed first-hand how free trade has transformed Texas.  The North American Free Trade Agreement has given rise to the greatest display of economic growth in the history of South Texas.  That agreement, known as NAFTA, links the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico. I believe that the advancement of new trade policies will expand opportunities for American businesses, workers and farmers while including fundamental operating standards.  I am also in support of free trade agreements in Latin America. I foresee a day when the United States can have a free trade agreement with every country in South America and Central America. Creating important relationships between the private sectors of those countries and our country is vital.
