Hillary
Clinton and Donald Trump don’t agree on much but they seem aligned against the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. Mrs.
Clinton said yesterday “I oppose it now, I’ll oppose it after the election and
I’ll oppose it as president.”
If
Hillary actually means it, what is probably most important about that campaign
pledge – and what should be said by Mr. Trump, as well – is that President
Obama’s current plan to ram this sovereignty-sapping and poorly negotiated
trade agreement through the Congress during its post-election lame-duck session
ain’t gonna happen.
But
it certainly can. The President will
have allies in Speaker Paul Ryan and a number of GOP Senators who won’t be
returning next year and want to improve their post-government prospects by
endearing themselves to the business interests behind TPP.
Clinton
and Trump need to insist that Obama withdraw
the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
