Before the election, “no one is going to go out there and support free trade because it doesn’t play well at home,” Davis, a member of President Barack Obama’s export council, said in an interview Oct. 22. “There will be more attention to get these agreements going” next year. Republicans retook the House of Representatives yesterday with a net gain of at least 60 seats, their biggest increase since 1938. Next year may provide the best chance to pass free- trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama since they were approved by President George W. Bush in 2007.
