John Kerry arrives in Colombia for trade talks
http://colombiareports.com/john-kerry-visits-colombia-for-trade-talks/---
Kerry arrived at Bogota’s military Catam airport, starting his first visit to the country since taking office as Secretary of State.
According to American press, Colombia is one of Washington’s closest allies in South America, although Colombian officials have expressed concern over the extent of the US’ surveillance program carried out by the NSA and revealed former contractor Edward Snowden.
The Colombian government had already said it expects explanations of Washington about the reach of this spying program.

Next stop on Kerry’s travel itinerary is Brazil, which — following reports on the NSA spying program — was also one of the main spying destinations for Washington.
