Obama urges free trade passage 

 Posted 07/06/2010 07:40 PM ET 

Pres. Obama supports free trade deals with Panama and Colombia, U.S. Trade
Representative Ron Kirk said, but there are still some issues that need to
be resolved. "These free trade agreements are almost entirely to the benefit
of American exporters and do represent collectively several billion dollars
of opportunities," Kirk said. There is no specific timetable, however, for
resolving labor and other concerns with the agreements and sending them to
Congress for a vote, he said.
