DeFazio Calls 'Bullshit' on the TPP | 18 June 2015 | Congressman Peter DeFazio has vehemently opposed the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal from early on, telling Eugene Weekly in January 2014 that the deal was “informed and manipulated by corporate interests” and that if the public knew what was in the classified document, they wouldn't like it. While widespread public attention has only really been directed at the trade deal for the past couple months, the TPP has been years in the making. The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls it a “secretive, multinational trade agreement” — the trade talks were all conducted in secret — and the pact is between 12 Pacific Rim countries accounting for almost 40 percent of the global economy.
