Obama Will Sign Free Trade Agreements Friday
President Barack Obama will sign Free Trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia Friday, according to the White House.
The agreements were passed through Congress last week in a rare example of bipartisanship.
In addition to the three FTAs, the President will renew the Trade Adjustment Assistance program, which provides American workers at risk from the agreements $575 million in benefits for fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
After signing the agreements, the President will deliver remarks from the Rose Garden.
