About
The U.S. Business Coalition for TPP is a broad-based and cross-sectoral group of U.S. companies and associations representing the principal sectors of the U.S. economy including agriculture, manufacturing, merchandising, processing, publishing, retailing and services. The U.S. Business Coalition for TPP supports the negotiation of a comprehensive, high-standard and commercially meaningful Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that will open markets for U.S. farmers, manufacturers and service providers, increase U.S. exports, and support American jobs. Such a TPP agreement will also advance security, stability and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
