MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker tells a German audience that young people around the world will be stronger if a new trade agreement between the United States and the European Union can be reached.
Walker made his comments Tuesday at the Hannover Messe trade show.
A recording of his comments provided to The Associated Press shows the likely Republican presidential candidate voiced his support for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP. Negotiations between the U.S. and EU began on it in 2013 but many Europeans remain skeptical over concerns about environmental protections, labor security and other issues.
Walker referenced his two college-aged sons in saying, “Their generation will ultimately grow stronger, I believe, when we approve a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.”

Foreign trade has always benefited all with the caveat that the trade is fair and balanced. Currently, other countries are cleaning our clock. Because none of our negotiators are successful business people. Politicians make very bad trade negotiators. We need someone like Trump in charge who has cleaned the clock of China with his deals.
Just FU@K these god-awful NWO treaties.
Screw it.
Screw all these people. THey just do not get it.
Our best candidates don’t get it.
Screw getting entagled in treaties. They always dump unconstitutional sh1t in them.
Just forget it now with the way the world is, and is going.
God we just have fricking idiots at every damn corner.

I am not knowledgeable enough to understand these trade agreements. Why do we need agreements to trade? Can’t we just do it
What I do think might be the case is major corporations want to soak the US market with low wage workers in every area and drain the American people of every dime and then when America is on its knees, they will simply focus on China or India an that will be that.
Perhaps I am very wrong. I know capitalism is the crux of our survival. But I don’t know if what is happening is truly capitalism.
In fairness to Walker, I am a lot less against trade deals with fairly equal economic partners. Trade can be good, if the details are sane.
Of course we are not allowed to see those details in advance, and the old saying that the devil is in the details, almost always applies to these trade agreements.
Our government can’t keep it’s out out of it’s -— long enough to see things clearly.
Generally these agreements limit our sovereignty to one degree or another. I am dead set against any trade deal that limits our self-governance.
Signing away our rights to make decisions later on, is completely unacceptable.
This trade agreement can only be viewed in a guarded room. You cannot make copies or take notes. How could this setup be permitted under the Constitution? There are matters beneath the surface going on here that have warped the process. Is there anyone with a spine willing to get underneath the facade of deceit going on here?
I guess my comments are in light of the secret, unconstitutional TPP treaty And some of the details that have been supposedly uncovered.
I believe now with the globalists working the way they are, we will never see sanity in any treaty proposed ever again.
Theymfound how to disarm us, and destroy he constituition’s protections - by treaty under a willing traitor president and a complacent, enabling senate.
I don’t see why we can’t just negotiate with one country at a time instead of these “comprehensive agreements”.
It is like we can’t have a bill to deport illegals or a separate bill to build a fence, instead it has to be a “comprehensive bill” which is full of crap that stabs ourselves in the back....
i agree treaties are for security. trade is for everyone who can produce a product. and convince people to buy it.
Looks like the uniparty spin machine is working overtime. They wouldn’t bend us over and screw us. Really. They just really had to pass it so we could see what was in it.
Not surprising, given Walker’s pre-presidential-run, pro-open borders position.
I don’t trust the Wisconsin GOP gang—Priebus, Ryan, and Walker—one bit.
Really? When? A 100 years from now? I don't trust these trade deals. Americans always get the short stick. We end up losing our jobs, and paying more for things.
There is no such thing as a global economy that, in the long run, can be separated from a global government.
Before WWI Germany and the US were the strongest of trade partners. Yet there really was trade agreement. Is this Scott walker of saying that he endorses trade aggreements with the crrent Obama trade agreement that has to be read in secret. Why is the trade agreement not fully disclosed. Is there an UN Gun Control Agreement attached to it or what?
You did see that Trump has donated $100K to the Clinton Foundation? Sounds more like an “interest” that wants to ensure favors for himself rather doing the USA a favor.

Bring back the tariffs. They served two purposes.
1. They forced corporations and countries that wanted access to our markets to make their products here.
2. They were the primary funding means that our government used prior to the implementation of the income tax Amendment that sanctioned national debt for only the benefit of the central bankers.
I have to agree with that. From what we’ve seen in recent years, there’s no other conclusion to be had IMO.
TTIP is not even on the table yet.
Since it's with Europe, we're not likely to get hurt too awful bad as they have stricter environmental and labor laws...and generally higher wages than the USA.
As these trade deals are written these days, I agree with you.
I believe in reasoned trade, but reasoned trade is not the result of the agreements we sign these days.
We sign away our rights to determine future policy, by agreeing to things we shouldn’t.
It's another you have to pass it in order to find out what's in it.
