Romney says Obama hasn’t signed any Free Trade Agreements (false)

USA Today shows Obama signing
3 free trade agreements.

Mitt Romney during his Foreign Policy speech today:

I will champion free trade and restore it as a critical element of our strategy, both in the Middle East and across the world. The President has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years. I will reverse that failure.

In fact, Obama signed three: South Korea, Panama and Colombia.

Though you could argue that Romney is technically right. Obama did not “sign one” free trade agreement – he signed three.

Such a liar.
