Ribble Statement on TPP Agreement

Statement

Date: Oct. 5, 2015
Location: Appleton, WI

U.S. Representative Reid Ribble (WI-08) today issued the below statement following the release of the final agreement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal:

"Since the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks began several years ago, I have weighed in repeatedly with the United States Trade Representative who negotiated on America's behalf. I am very hopeful that this deal will give Wisconsinites the ability to sell more of our goods overseas, helping us trade more of the products of our strong manufacturing industry with the rest of the world, and hopefully opening up new markets for our cheese, milk, and butter especially in Canada and Japan.

In the coming days and weeks I will be studying the agreement very closely to determine if it's a fair deal for Wisconsin and our nation, and will be voting accordingly."
