US set to miss CAFTA start date

[Thom Little]

The US has admitted it will miss its 1 January target date to implement the controversial Cafta free trade pact with six Central American nations.

President George W Bush signed up to Cafta back in August, despite strong opposition from both Democrats and Republicans, and US trade unions.

.......

The other Cafta members are Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.

The US is now looking to write Cafta into law for 1 February or 1 March.
