TPP fight: Fast-track legislation approved in US House, heads to Senate | 19 June 2015 | The US House of Representatives on Thursday reversed course, approving “fast-track” legislation central to President Barack Obama's trade corporate takeover deal with Pacific Rim nations and sending it back to the Senate. The close vote in the House, which last week rejected a related bill, kept alive Mr Obama's goal of bolstering US ties with Asia subjugating the US governmnet to trans-national corporations through a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The House voted 218-208 to give Mr Obama the fast-track authority to speed 'trade' deals, including the TPP, to conclusion with reduced interference from Congress.
