Costa Rica at presstime this afternoon was expected to announce its withdrawal from what was to be the final round of negotiations to conclude a free trade agreement with the United States and four other Central American countries, throwing into confusion at least the timing for completing the pact. Costa Rican and U.S. negotiators in recent days had been unable to bridge differences over U.S. demands that Costa Rica sign on to certain intellectual property protections and open its insurance market, in addition to differences over agriculture and several other sticking points.
