On Friday, June 12, Congressman Young voted in favor of Trade Promotion Authority, joining the entire Iowa Republican congressional delegation (Senator Grassley, Senator Ernst, Congressman King and Congressman Blum) to support the measure.
"I voted for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to ensure accountability, transparency, and lawfulness in any trade agreement coming down the pike from the president. This authority gives Congress a say in the process, so we can review the trade deal and ultimately have an up or down vote in approving or rejecting the agreement. And most importantly, TPA requires the president to make the trade agreement public, so it is transparent and reviewable for Iowans. Regardless of any potential trade agreement, I look forward to listening to Iowans throughout this process."
