“How can they split TPA from TAA today when they had to be considered together [with another item] last Friday?”
They restructured the bill to separate them. That’s why it has to go back to the Senate now for a re-vote there next week.
Australian trade minister says TPP is basically done. One week of negotiations need to finish it:
“We are literally one week of negotiation away from completing this extraordinary deal across 12 countries and 40 per cent of the world’s GDP,” said Andrew Robb, Australia’s trade minister.
Seems the Cruz campaign has been lying to conservatives to cover his Obama enabling TPA vote. Shame on them.
I think it may die in the Senate.
