WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration announced Monday that it reached agreement with Peru on free trade pact amendments that address Democratic concerns on worker rights and the environment.
U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab said in a statement that she hoped the agreement would clear the way for congressional approval of a U.S.-Peru free trade agreement by next month.
In May, congressional Democrats announced they had forged new policy guidelines with the administration to make labor and environmental rights key parts of future trade agreements.
