Hill: "TPA Supports Arkansas's Farmers, Manufacturers, and Economy'

Statement

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives again voted to renew Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). Following passage of TPA, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the below statement:

"I am encouraged that the House has found a way to revive TPA despite the President's inability to convince House Democrats on the importance of increased congressional oversight when negotiating trade agreements. Beyond the much-needed congressional oversight for the President's trade negotiators, TPA also provides a greater opportunity for America to thrive in today's global economy. With 95 percent of the world's customers living outside of the United States, we need to structure favorable trade deals that pry open markets for American goods and services in other parts of the world. Bottom line: moving forward with TPA supports Arkansas's farmers, manufacturers, and economy."
