Former U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said Wednesday he believes the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal he helped negotiate, is critical for the future of the American economy. And he said he still supports Hillary Clinton, who lauded the deal during her tenure as secretary of state but has more recently opposed it.

Kirk, the former Texas secretary of state and Dallas mayor, told Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief Evan Smith during an Austin TV taping that he’s donated money to Clinton’s presidential campaign, though he stopped short of a formal endorsement.

“I think Secretary Clinton demonstrated last night that she is head and shoulders above the rest of this field — I’ve given her money, I signed up right away,” Kirk said, referencing Tuesday night's Democratic debate. “I love [Vice President] Joe Biden too much to pressure him one way or the other, but I’m holding off on an endorsement until he decides” whether to run for president.

Clinton, who as secretary of state called the trade deal the “gold standard,” said earlier this month that she was “worried” about the terms of the deal as it stands. The TPP would be the largest trade deal in history, involving the United States and 11 Pacific Rim countries.

Clinton's former collaborators now work in the private sector and stand to gain financially from the energy reforms they helped create, DesMog said.
