Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Trade

Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on passage of Trade Promotion Authority:

"Trade Promotion Authority is a win for our state economy. Expedited consideration of trade agreements will yield greater access to world markets for products produced or grown in Arkansas. Our exports will grow exponentially, resulting in both higher revenues and more jobs for the Natural State. This legislation also contains important safeguards to ensure the President's trade negotiations occur in a transparent manner and that Congress retains oversight of the administration's negotiations. Rest assured, I will fight back against any misuse of this economic tool."
