Pnma: Free trade headquarters

It's a hot issue out there, folks.

The Moscoso administration has made its top priority in free trade talks the location of the headquarters of a Free Trade Area of the Americas in Panama. However, US President George W. Bush’s brother Jeb, the governor of Florida, wants it in Miami and there are other contenders as well. Panama’s chances have suffered two big setbacks in recent weeks, as Nicaragua has thrown its backing to Miami and Costa Rica its support to Port of Spain, Trinidad-Tobago. There is little chance that George W. Bush will risk losing Florida by allowing a decision other than Miami to be made before the November US elections, and by that time Mireya Moscoso’s presidency will be history.

Everybody wants it. Let's see if this writer it correct that Florida will get it.
