Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage and Obamacare subsidies overshadowed the fact that Congress finally granted President Obama fast-track authority over the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and other trade negotiations. As such, upon the TPP agreement’s finalization, Congress will now simply give an up or down vote on its implementation.
This is tremendous news for the president and for the future of free trade and its associated benefits.
