Mexican Trucking Will Be Revived By U.S., LaHood Says (Update3)

By Angela Greiling Keane

March 24 (Bloomberg) -- Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he will revive a program that lets Mexican trucks deliver goods across the border in a bid to resolve a dispute with the U.S.’s third-largest trading partner.

LaHood met today with Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, who worked successfully to cut off funding for the program because of what he said was a failure to meet U.S. safety standards. The program is required by the North American Free Trade Agreement with the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Mexico last week applied $2.4 billion in tariffs on at least 90 U.S. products in retaliation for the U.S. suspending rules that let some Mexican trucks operate beyond a zone along the countries’ border. Senators including John McCain, an Arizona Republican, and Mel Martinez, a Florida Republican, have said the U.S. should bring back the program, citing the economic needs of U.S. consumers and exporters.

“What we want to do is to make it a program Congress feels good about,â€

Just wait until these Mexican truck drivers are running Americans into the ditches, trees, and etc.....

Well said WA!

Obama bows down to a third world country again .... what a pathetically weak man .. weak in moral's, weak in Ethics, Weak on every area he has touched...

Obama is a bigger disaster than G.W. Bush and Bush screwed up every thing he touched

I did not like Bush but I think he had puppet masters.
I feel Obama is one of the Puppet Masters.

I went to the Teamsters' website yesterday to thank them for standing up for Americans, but unfortunately "access denied". They probably hear from enough open border types.

The Nixon administration was the last to not be controlled by the 'Trilateral Commission'. The Robert Redford movie 'The Candidate' has become reality.
