Biden Won’t Commit to TPP Trade Deal He Championed as VP
Posted By Brent Scher On June 26, 2019 @ 11:45 am
Joe Biden's presidential campaign refused to defend the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal he championed as vice president to the Atlantic, which asked all the Democratic presidential candidates for their views on TPP.
Biden was front and center in the Obama administration's effort to sell the TPP trade deal President Donald Trump formally spiked just days after assuming office in 2017. He was marshaled by the Obama administration to sell the deal to skeptical Democratic lawmakers and told them it was critical to containing China's influence in Asia.
Biden's campaign, however, now refused to say he would support the trade policy, according to the Atlantic.
