06 Nov Obama Tells Congress He Will Sign TPP
President Obama notified Congress on Thursday that he intends to sign a broad trade agreement spanning from Asia to Latin America.
The president’s notification was expected soon after the final text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was released around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
The message kicks off a period of at least 90 days before Obama can sign the agreement, a requirement of the trade promotion authority, or fast-track, legislation he signed into law this summer.
