14 de noviembre de 2006, puesto en línea por Juan Carlos Bossio Rotondo
La victoria demócrata en las elecciones parciales norteamericanas influirá sin duda en la posibilidad que el APC-TLC Perú-EEUU sea aprobado por el congreso estadounidense. Alan García lo negó presuntuoso en un primer momento; luego, reaccionando probablemente a un inesperado baño de realismo, lo ha aceptado.
