Obama Promotes Trade With Latin America
In this weekend's YouTube address, President Obama promoted trade with Latin American countries, heading into his trip to the region.
"Latin America is a part of the world where the economy is growing very quickly. And as these markets grow, so does their demand for goods and services," said Obama. "The question is, Where are those goods and services going to come from? As President, I want to make sure these products are made in America. I want to open more markets around the world so that American companies can do more business and hire more of our people."
