What is the TPP? (Trans-Pacific Partnership)
What is the TPP? (Trans Pacific Partnership)The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is on track to become the biggest free trade agreement ever. It’s referred to as NAFTA on steroids. It’s being negotiated in secret among 12 countries: the U.S., Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. What is fast track?“Fast Track” authority means Congress will have to vote on the 1,200+ page TPP trade deal as written with almost no debate and no ability to amend it, in an expedited schedule. Members of Congress will be voting to give the TPP this expedited approval process without having actually read the TPP agreement and before negotiations are even complete! They will, in effect, be voting for the trade agreement before reading it. Congress must reject Fast Track authority and ensure that trade deals like the TPP benefit all citizens, not just corporate ones.
