TPP Unveiled
White House Unveils Secretive ‘ObamaTrade’ Details –The Hill
“The much-anticipated release of the final text of a sweeping Asia-Pacific trade agreement became a reality on Thursday morning, kicking off what is expected to amount to months of intensive debate on Capitol Hill. The U.S. Trade Representative’s office dropped the details of the massive 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal – 30 chapters and more than 2,000 pages – exactly one month since the agreement was completed on Oct. 5 in Atlanta. The text of the TPP deal will be under the microscope of Congress and the broader public for at least 90 days before President Obama can sign the agreement between the United States and 11 other nations – Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Vietnam, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore.”
