Issues: Trade

Senator Corker voted in favor of three long-standing free trade agreements between the United States and South Korea, Colombia, and Panama. All three agreements were passed by the Senate on Wednesday evening.

"I'm particularly excited about what passage of these trade agreements means for Tennessee," said Corker after the votes. "Our exports to these countries have increased substantially, reaching almost $900 million last year, and these agreements will create a tremendous opportunity for further export and job growth in our state."
