It`s just a matter of time before President Obama drives home Panama`s free trade agreement. It will, of course, immediately increase jobs and assure uninhibited economic activity between the two nations. The biggest card in the deck of this agreement, so to speak, is the expansion of the Panama Canal. Projected at $5.25 billion, the expansion project offers a wealth of contracts for qualified bidders; the US could easily supply Panama with skilled labor and technology. Undoubtedly, this would be one of President Obama`s more solid first-term accomplishments on the international stage.
