Statement
Issues: Foreign Affairs Trade
Senator Al Franken released the following statement in response to President Trump's announcement that the United States will withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an Asian-Pacific trade deal with eleven other nations.
"You only need to look at the Iron Range to see what unfair trade policies have done to working families, and I believe this country needs a trade policy that is fairer for Minnesota. While I was opposed to the TPP and it was effectively killed by bipartisan opposition in Congress, the formal withdrawal represents the final nail in the coffin of the flawed agreement. "
