Article (Newsmax.com)

The U.S. and five Central American countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua) signed a free trade agreement. The Dominican Republic will soon join the pact.

We say doing a job just as well but cheaper ain't "unfair" competition, but common sense efficiency that enables us to focus on areas where we excel.
