Panama and Obama s Latin America Policy: Time to Close Ranks and Support A Friend

Panama, like its neighbor Colombia, is waiting for the U.S. Congress to approve the pending free trade agreement and to increase security cooperation. Panama is a strong democracy and trade partner often ignored in Washington, despite decades of fruitful ties. The cornerstone of the U.S.–Panama relationship remains the path-breaking 1970s treaties that granted Panama sovereignty over the U.S.-built Panama Canal, a historic milestone in the peaceful evolution of hemispheric diplomacy. The Panama Canal plays a prominent and growing role in U.S. trade. Panama is ready to deepen its long cooperation and friendship with the U.S. it is time that Washington embrace this opportunity to strengthen a vital alliance.

Holding the Kirchners Accountable for Argentina s Economic Freefall

In Argentina, the rule of law and free-market principles have been weakened dramatically over the past decade. Under the leadership of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner, economic freedom in Argentina has been in a virtual freefall, corruption has been rampant, and the government’s ties to strongmen in the region, such as Ven¬ezuela’s Hugo Chávez, are troubling. The White House and the U.S. Congress should examine the threat posed to both the U.S. and Latin America from the continuance of the Kirchners’ populist and statist policies, ensuring that Argentina’s current government does not receive political favors from the U.S. government. President Obama made the right decision to skip a visit to Buenos Aires when he travels to Latin America this month. But he can do much more to hold Argentina’s government accountable for the country’s downward spiral.
