WASHINGTON - Rep. Gil Gutknecht said Wednesday evening that he will vote against the proposed Central American Free Trade Agreement, making him the only Republican from Minnesota to oppose the deal.
"Unfortunately, when you compare the upside and potential downside, I believe the agreement has three potential fatal flaws," Gutknecht said in a statement. "They are fixable, but they couldn't be fixed before this vote."
A vote was possible as early as Wednesday night.
Gutknecht, from Rochester, Minn., did not elaborate in his statement, and he declined an interview request. But in a constituent letter last week, he said there were problems in the deal for U.S. immigration policy, sovereignty and farm policy.
