TPP
End of Democracy?
The
Alyona Show, RT
All
this week, there have been secretive negotiations going on in San
Diego over the TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. It could
be the biggest trade agreement in US history, and it also, leaves
room for expansion.
o far, the countries
included are the US, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, Mexico and Canada. The problem is, we know
very little about it. The Obama administration has resisted
transparency in these negotiations, to the point where even Senator
Ron Wyden, chair of the Senate Trade Committee, has been denied
access to a draft of the 26 chapter treaty.
What
we do know, has come out in leaks. Alyona discusses what we do know
with Josh Eidelson, a contributing writer at Salon.
