Agreement
is a step closer after a Congressional committee agreed on fast-track
legislation.
This
still needs to go to a full Congressional vote but Tim Groser is
cautiously optimistic.
Tim
Groser said two negotiating powers are very conservative, Japan and
Canada, and there are difficulties still standing in the way.
Fast-track
legislation gives a US president the power to make trade deals that
cannot be amended by Congress, which can only accept or reject the
agreement.
I believe the traitor is wrong, I doubt that they will get this through. Congress can agree to bomb the bejeezus out of any nation state but struggles to agree on anything as difficult as this.
