During last night's State of the Union, President Obama call for action on double US exports in the next five years. To do this he highlighted the importance of moving forward on trade agreements with countries like Colombia and Panama. Trued is that Colombia is not only the biggest US ally on the region but also this agreement benefits both countries enormously. For the US, its a market with $40 million customers and the opportunity to develop new opportunities on clean energy. For Colombia, its an Opportunity to reenforce a commercial relation that has been part of the resent economic grow and an opportunity to continue the fight on drugs. The more economic opportunities, the less people benefiting of illegal activities.
