Thune Statement on Senate Passage of Bipartisan Trade Bill

“With trade promotion authority, we can negotiate deals that put our nation first …”

 

WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) issued the following statement after the Senate passed bipartisan legislation, H.R. 1314, to renew trade promotion authority for six years:

 

“Trade deals are powerful tools that help strengthen our economy, create more jobs, and even promote our nation’s stability and security abroad. With trade promotion authority, we can negotiate deals that put our nation first for the benefit of American workers, businesses, consumers, and families. This bipartisan legislation renews trade promotion authority for six years, which extends well beyond the current administration. The House should move swiftly to pass this legislation so our nation can get to work securing trade deals, which would open new markets for goods and services stamped ‘Made in the USA.’”

  1. Standing with Barack Obama can only help the corn and soybeans, Senator. However, none of the GOP Presidential candidates agree with you. Ms. Clinton does, though.

  2. God bless Richard Shelby, Jeff Sessions, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, the principled Republicans who voted no.
