Korea/US FTA: Washington source says US Congress have reportedly postponed voting on pact until October

According to an anonymous source in Washington Thursdaythe US House of Representatives has tentatively agreed to vote on the country’s three pending trade deals with Korea, Colombia and Panama in mid October.

But observers say the belated move on Korea-US FTA could lead to more delays in the latter half of this year.

The protracted battle over the US debt limit as well as other major national events such as the ten year anniversary of the September 11th attacks this month have held up plans to ratify the deals.
