...that both Democrats and Republicans agreed with.

And yet...was completely necessary.

The TPP guaranteed that US jobs WILL BE LOST! Industries WILL suffer. However, some industries will prosper, particularly agriculture. New jobs will be created, which would require people retraining....but that comes along with hardships as well. Oh and China, has a less foot hold on Asian Economics.

Since we pulled out, the only guarantee we have is, US jobs will be lost and industries will suffer. Oh and China a dominant foot hold on Asian Economics.
