WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Donald Trump instructed his administration to explore re-entering the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). After years of widespread public opposition to the toxic TPP, Donald Trump sought to take credit for its demise by withdrawing from the deal in January 2017. On multiple occasions, Trump has referred to the TPP as a “disaster” and a “horrible deal.”
In response, Sierra Club Responsible Trade Program Director Ben Beachy released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s obvious amnesia about the TPP reinforces what we already knew: his fraudulent trade policy is completely out of touch with what is best for American workers, communities, and the environment.”
