The ink isn’t dry on the proposed free trade agreements with Colombia, 
Panama and South Korea, but Sen. Ron Portman (R-OH) is already encouraging 
the Obama administration to seek additional trade deals.

Portman suggested that the U.S. should seek to lower trade barriers with 
South American nations like Colombia and Argentina through the Free Trade 
Area of the Americas.

“I am very concerned by the fact that the United States has chosen to take 
itself out of the game,” Portman said in an interview with Bloomberg News.

“We’re sitting on the sidelines while over 100 bilateral trade negotiations 
are taking place.”

The European Union is another target for Portman; he said that the U.S. 
should seek to lower trade barriers with the nations that make up the EU.

In addition, Portman would like to see the U.S. negotiate more bilateral 
trade agreements like the three that recently passed.

“My fervent hope is that after a good vote this week the administration will 
get back in the business of negotiating future agreements,” he told 
Bloomberg News.

There are no other bilateral free trade agreements on the horizon. But the 
Obama administration is currently in negotiations on a trade deal that would 
be by far the largest the U.S. has entered into since the North American 
Free Trade Agreement.

Currently involved in the talks for the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership 
are Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United 
States and Vietnam. U.S. officials have also floated the possibility of 
adding Malaysia, Canada, Japan, Peru and South Korea.

A trade pact of that size would make the North American Free Trade Agreement 
seem like small potatoes. It would also result in a myriad of economic 
problems for the U.S.

The TPP would pit American workers against low-wage competition from places 
like Vietnam and Malaysia. U.S. dairy producers would have a tough time 
competing against New Zealand, which has a giant co-operative of over 13,000 
dairy farms that pool their resources.
