Sessions Calls out Obama on TPP: He’s ‘Never Been Really Interested in Trade’

“It is -- The threat is mostly to working Americans. That’s where the damage might be from an unwise agreement. President Obama, I believe, has never been really interested in trade. I think what his legacy vision is -- he’s created another monumental Trans-Pacific organization that has Australia, the sultan of Brunei, Vietnam all in this, and it has the ability to add new members, and he’s even talked about adding China into this agreement. I think it’s a huge historic event, that there’s no way this Republican conference, this Congress should give this to the president. We ought to know everything there is to know about it. Lawyers ought to explain every word that’s in it. We need to know precisely what it is that’s occurring, and I don’t believe, frankly, that it should be given to this president, who’s already shown he’s not bound by law when it comes to promoting his agenda.”
