The US-Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, ratified in the US in 2005, includes the United States, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. It has been widely criticized for eliminating agricultural tarriffs that protect rural economies, limiting access to generic drugs, exporting jobs, and for allowing corporations to sue governments for enforcing their environmental laws.
