WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) today applauded the Senate's passage of the three trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. The agreements have passed the House of Representatives and will now go to President Obama for his signature.
"This is how you create jobs in America. Our country's ag producers have been waiting patiently for more than four years for this day, and I'm very happy to finally vote for these trade agreements to unleash their job-creating potential," Johanns said. "Ratifying these agreements means three expanding markets for our producers and hundreds of thousands of new American jobs. Today is a good day for American exporters and the American economy."
