With an increasing number of Free
Trade Agreements having entered into
force between the United States and
Central/South American countries in the
past few years, trade between the U.S.
and Latin America is booming. The five
countries visited during the Trade Winds
mission (Colombia, Peru, Chile, Panama
and Ecuador) account for approximately
U.S. $60 billion worth of exports of a
wide range of products from the United
States. These are also strong export
markets when looking exclusively at
auto parts, with Chile alone accounting
for U.S. $280 million in exports in 2013.
