How New Trade Partnership Could Impact Georgia Businesses
President Barack Obama visited the headquarters of Nike in Oregon last week to raise support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, also known as the TPP.
The TPP is a trade agreement that is under negotiation by twelve countries, including the United States, Japan and Mexico, and it could affect up to 40 percent of U.S trade.
The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a bill this week that would grant the president the right to speed up the negotiating process. But both parties are split on the TPP and a lot of politicking still needs to play out.
In the meantime, workers and businesses in Georgia are calculating how the TPP might affect them.
Professor of international business at Georgia State University, David Bruce, discussed the trade agreement on “A Closer Look.”
