McCain plugs free trade


Continuing his swing through Latin America, Republican presidential candidate John McCain continued to plug free trade with Colombia.

McCain toured a Colombian port by speedboat to investigate anti-drug programs.

He also continued to support the North American Free Trade Agreement, which many in the United States do not support because they worry it will take jobs away.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking at a United Steel Workers conference in Las Vegas, said free trade was a mistake when the United States opens it markets to countries without those countries opening theirs.
