President recently received backing from congress to expedite action on the TPP. But some front runner presidential candidates both on the left and right have come out to say they did not support the proposed agreement or the authorization for expidited action. Few days ago, Dr. Ben Carson said he might support the president Obama's TPP aggrement. This statement did not go down well with some of his supporters. Speaking of his tentative support, Dr. Carson said he
“believes the agreement does help to level the playing field in key markets and is important to improve our ties to trading partners in Asia as a counterbalance to China’s influence in the region."
The goal of the trade agreement is to reduce barriers to commerce and investment among a dozen countries comprising nearly 40 percent of the world’s economy.
With the USA and Japan as the two largest economies in this TPP aggrement, I believe it will further strengthen the booming economic potentials in the pacific region and Dr. Carson will be right supporting the aggrement.
