At a White House signing ceremony, President Bush said the trade deal, known as CAFTA, will help create more U.S. jobs while helping Central American nations deliver better lives for their citizens by attracting more foreign trade and investment.

Mr. Bush says that growth will reduce poverty and contribute to the rise of what he calls a vibrant middle class, giving hope and opportunity to people who have chosen democracy.

"All of us understand that strengthening our economic ties with our democratic neighbors is vital to America´s economic and national security interests," the president said. "And all of us understand that by strengthening ties with democracies in our hemisphere, we are advancing the stability that comes from freedom."
