Obama Wants Corporations To Have Greater Power In Trade Deal
Image source: CNSNews
Memos involving Trans Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations leaked to the media have alarmed economists, labor unions and environmental groups.
The TPP involves the United States and a dozen different nations and could give new powers to international corporations, restrict banking regulations, endanger America’s food supply, and drive up the cost of prescription medicines, if predictions by opponents are accurate.
As previously reported by Off The Grid News, the Trans Pacific Partnership deal appears to be cloaked in not just controversy but secrecy as well. That trade deal, along with the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership deal, would allegedly force the United States to “harmonize” food safety standards – causing America to abide by the standards of other nations.
Americans who are concerned that the USDA, FDA, and EPA agencies are not protecting the safety and integrity of our food supply are among those deeply concerned about the emerging partnership.
