Bush Trip To Argentina Ends With No Trade Agreement

HeadlineNov 07, 2005

President Bush’s trip to Argentina ended without any agreement on reviving talks to create a regional free trade zone. Brazil, Venezuela, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina all declined to take part in further negotiations on the Free Trade Area of the Americas. On Friday, as many as 40,000 demonstrators filled the streets of Mar del Plate in Argentina. Protesters included Argentine Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Bolivian presidential candidate Evo Morales and Argentine soccer star Diego Marodonna. While Bush attended the Summit of Americas, over 10,000 people rallied a nearby soccer stadium for a counter-summit led by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
