The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal that would make it easier for American companies to sell their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries. The deal will benefit American service companies who will be able to open up operations in Asian and South American countries. Opponents argue that this bill will incentivize US companies to move service and manufacturing jobs overseas. Proponents argue that it would make American companies more successful at selling their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries, leading to a stronger economy, more jobs and higher incomes for American workers.

Not until it’s renegotiated to better protect workers and the environment

Regardless, much more care needs to be taken with intellectual property internationally.
@B2XMXJ33wks3W
I want to say yes, but it seems like this is only trying to tell us all the good things that can happen and none of the bad. So No
@B23R6DC3mos3MO
Yes, as long as the partnership has been throughly assessed and provides protections to workers and the environment.
@9YDWP6J4mos4MO
Everyone should have their own choice I. The matter who they love or want to be shouldn’t be anyone else’s opinion
@LawsAreBad1yr1Y
No, adopt a unilateral free trade policy instead
