Baucus Meets with Colombian President to Wrap Up Trade Mission Montana Farmers, Business Owners Return from Colombia, Brazil After Series of Meetings with Potential Buyers in South America

Montana’s senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus finished his weeklong trade mission to Colombia and Brazil on Saturday with a meeting with the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos.

Baucus used the meeting as another opportunity to highlight the urgent need to pass a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Colombia as soon as possible this year.

As Chairman of the Finance Committee, with sole jurisdiction over international trade, Baucus has consistently pressed President Obama to submit the FTA to Congress so Montana producers and manufacturers do not continue to lose business to competitors from other countries.
