A trade deal between the US and Colombia will be full implemented by May 15th, satisfying a major goal of the Obama administration. President Obama announced on Sunday during a trip to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas that years of talks that included demands for strengthened rights for Colombian workers has borne fruit. The President called the deal, \u201ca win for both our countries.\u201d However Colombian union leaders and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka here in the United States expressed concern that not enough has been done to stop the murder of unionists in Colombia, where 51 labor leaders were killed in 2010 and 30 were killed last year. The trade pact negotiated between Obama and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos will lift tariffs on 80% of industrial and manufactured exports from both countries, and on over 50% of US agricultural exports to Colombia. <\/p>\n
