On May 12, 2014, the White House issued a Fact Sheet regarding the meeting between President Obama and Uruguayan President Jose Mujica Cordano at the White House. The Fact Sheet announced that the United States and Uruguay would sign a Customs Mutual Assistance Agreement (CMAA) on the sidelines of President Obama and President Mujica’s meeting. CMAAs provide the legal framework to allow for the exchange of information and evidence to assist countries in the prevention, detection, and investigation of customs offenses – including those associated with duty evasion, trafficking, proliferation, money laundering, and terrorism-related activities. Uruguay is the 69th country to sign a CMAA with the United States. |
