This prompted celebrations of a new era in trade between the two nations.

This already covered nearly 80% of Colombian exports, in exchange for efforts to reduce the supply of drugs. The new pact makes those benefits permanent, and extends them to almost everything else. Meanwhile American farm products such as soyabeans, top-quality beef, bacon, cotton and most fruit and vegetables can now enter Colombia duty-free, as can machinery, some vehicles, and textiles. The deal should also encourage investment in Colombia, both by American companies and by firms using the country as a base from which to export to the United States.

But the world isn't perfect and Politico's lack of human and journalistic integrity begs a question…
If the media says the private lives of private citizens are now fair game, aren't journalists private citizens? Read More
