This agreement is not perfect, and there are some principled objections, so NAM will continue to work closely with its members to address remaining barriers, to raise standards, to promote the rule of law and to further level the playing field for all. Importantly, we encourage the administration to work closely with the industry, congressional leaders and the other TPP governments to address these key issues. No trade agreement is perfect, and the TPP is no exception. However, the benefits of a trade agreement lie in how it is interpreted, implemented, and enforced. With that in mind, were rolling up our sleeves to work with the administration, Congress. CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.

TPP certainly shouldnt come before the election. I think the president would be making a big mistake to try to have that voted on during the election. Theres significant pushback all over the place. The next president, whoever that is, will have the authority to either revisit this one, if it doesnt pass. -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 12/10/15 CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

It is a deal that is going to lead to nothing but trouble. It's a deal that was designed for China to come in, as they always do, through the back door and totally take advantage of everyone. This is one of the worst trade deals. And I would, yes, rather not have it. -- Donald Trump, 11/10/15 CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.

I know there is political risk in supporting free trade. TPP is President Obamas biggest trade initiative. I know some political constituencies in my own political party dont favor it. But I agree with what Hillary Clinton said about TPP in 2012: This is a great deal for America. -- Jeb Bush, 4/22/15 CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.
