Politico: Bernie Sanders bashes trade agreement as 'disastrous'

Politico: Bernie Sanders bashes trade agreement as 'disastrous'

"I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision to move forward on the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that will hurt consumers and cost American jobs," Sanders said in a statement Monday morning shortly after the deal was announced. "Wall Street and other big corporations have won again. It is time for the rest of us to stop letting multinational corporations rig the system to pad their profits at our expense."

In his Monday statement, Sanders vowed to fight the deal in the Senate. The deal is expected to be a flashpoint for heated debate in Congress over the next few months.
