counter argument

Is the U.S trying to help Colombians by signing a free trade agreement (FTA) with them? Some people may consider the agreement an opportunity for Colombians to purchase technology brand clothes and imported food for cheaper prices they are currently paying. Colombians and Americans politicians suggest that the FTA will create jobs and economic stability for Colombians, yet experience in the U.S. and abroad has shown that free-market policies lead to poverty for Colombian workers especially for Colombians farmers who will not be able to compete against the subsidized American products I strongly believe that this agreement should not be signed because it will take away the jobs of millions of Colombian farmers, it will bring American lab produced food to Colombia and it will ruin the current environment.
