The same argument was used to justify trade with China.

We sold them $12 billion in 1996, $55 billion in 2006.

Yes.

We can either buy from China, which is an enemy, or buy from Colombia, which is a loyal and faithful pro-American friend. Because we are going to buy from one of them. You decide.

Question: Consisting of what?

Answer: Raw materials and the know how that enables them to make valuable things with those raw materials.
