369 DAYS AGO: TPP "would link markets throughout Asia and the Americas, lowering trade barriers...

while raising standards on labor, the environment, and intellectual property." Hillary Clinton also stated TPP is "important for American workers, who would benefit from competing on a more level playing field." She also called it "a strategic initiative that would strengthen the position of the United States in Asia."

This she stated to the world on the day her memoirs, entitled "Hard Choices" were released; June 10, 2014. One year and four days ago.

Previous to that, as Secretary of State, she claimed TPP was "The Gold Standard in trade agreements". I would argue that as SoS she was privy to the bulk of its secret contents at the time.

Hillary Clinton supports TPP wholeheartedly until she explicitly states otherwise is how I see the current situation.
