Clinton opposes Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal
Oct 8,
US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has opposed the multi-nation Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal. In a major political setback to the US President Barack Obama, his party’s front runner presidential candidate rejected the notion that, if the deal is rejected US would not be able to meet the challenge of China in Asia. She said, the best way US could exercise influence in Asia is to remain the world’s strongest economy at home.
The TPP, is an ambitious idea pushed hard by the Obama administration wherein, 12 pacific-rim countries reached agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership following grueling Atlanta negotiations. The TPP aims at addressing the “21st century trade issues” such as intellectual property protections, digital trade rights and protections for investors.
