Preview

More candidates running for president oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal (TPP) than support it.

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton is the latest to declare her opposition to the deal. The TPP was negotiated by the Obama administration.

As Secretary of State, Clinton described Obama’s TPP as the “gold standard” of trade agreements.

But this month she said the final deal does not appear acceptable.

“I don’t believe it’s going to meet the high bar I have set,” she said. Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s top challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, opposed the agreement. He maintained that stance even before the deal was finalized.

“We need trade policies that promote the interests of American workers not just the CEOs of corporations,” he said, after 12 nations announced agreement on the Pacific trade deal Oct. 4.
