This Democratic Senator Is Doing All He Can To Kill Obama's Trade Agenda
Brown doesn’t want Congress to approve legislation that would give Obama expedited, or fast-track authority, to win congressional approval for trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership now being negotiated by the U.S. and 11 Pacific nations. Fast track would prohibit amendments to the trade pacts and only allow up-or-down votes.
Brown may not receive as much attention as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is getting in the ongoing fight between Obama's administration and Senate Democrats, but he’s doing everything he can to make drastic changes to the bill that would grant Obama the so-called trade promotion authority.
In an interview with The Huffington Post on Tuesday, Brown laid out his strategy, which is to talk to everyone and push them to support measures that would toughen enforcement of trade laws.
