The Peruvian government defaulted on billions of dollars' worth of sovereign land bonds and now refuses to repay the Americans who are owed – despite having one of the strongest economies in Latin America.
The Trump administration must pressure the Peruvian government to pay the land bonds in full — with no exceptions.

Help protect millions of U.S. workers by signing the petition below to make your voice heard in Congress and the White House. Let's stand up for the American people.
If Peru is not held to account, numerous Ohioans and their communities could suffer economic hardship. I urge you take action on behalf of them.

…America can no longer allow countries that take advantage of our large domestic market to get away with defaulting on their debts, particularly when it hurts our workers and retirees.
James Hoffa, President, International Brotherhood of Teamsters
Government-backed bonds are considered the most secure investment and are, therefore, a favorite of pension funds… We put our hard-earned retirements in these bonds, not only based on the rationale that responsible countries pay their debts, but also because of the additional protections provided to investors in the U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement.
Nick "Sonny" Nardi, President of Teamsters Local 416
