Statement by the Press Secretary
President Bush met today with President Mejia of the Dominican
Republic. They discussed cooperation in the fight against terrorism,
bilateral relations broadly, and deepening of our trade relationship
specifically. U.S. Trade Representative Zoellick also met today with
President Mejia. Both agreed to intensify, in consultation with
Congress, our joint efforts to determine the best way to connect our
ongoing U.S.-Dominican trade dialogue with the U.S.-Central America
Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) talks so that all countries can move
toward freer trade together.
