Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, is calling on President Barack Obama to publicly release the text of Obamatrade immediately.

Americans aren’t being allowed to see what’s in ObamaTrade. In fact, the agreements that lawmakers are supposed to vote on next week are so secret that lawmakers aren’t even allowed to keep any notes they make about what the deals contain.

J.D. Winteregg, the conservative primary challenger to House Speaker John Boehner, is slamming Boehner for not being transparent when it comes to Obamatrade.

President Obama, in his push to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), said it would keep China from controlling the region – encouraging the Senate to pass the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) last month, which allows him to fast-track negotiations and finalize the TPP.

Now Obama is saying China could join the agreement, according to Politico.

From Politico: Vietnam slaps tariffs of 70 percent on U.S. cars and machinery, 35 percent on U.S. chemicals, 30 percent on U.S. biscuits and baked goods, and 25 percent on U.S. recording equipment. Japan marks up our oranges 16 percent

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, former U.S. Navy SEAL Commander Rep.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says passing a pending trade agreement would be “a continuation of failed trade policy” that has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of manufacture facilities and American jobs. He added that corporations have had to shut down in America and move to China and Mexico – losing thousands of jobs here in the United States.

CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger argued Hillary Clinton is “clearly” “backing away” from her previous position on trade on Friday’s “Wolf” on CNN. At a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Hillary said, “You know, I have said repeatedly that I

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said to Congress, “The American people don’t trust you” on Obamatrade deal.

Thursday on the senate floor, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)  introduced a bill that would give the public 60 days to review the details of President Obama’s  Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal before Congress votes. Partial transcript as follows: “In the past few

The news of an organized—and fairly impressive—House Republican backstop against Obamatrade comes as U.S. Senate Republicans are rushing the TPA fast-track through their chamber of Congress as fast they can.

The 39 California Democrat members of the House of Representatives almost unanimously oppose Barack Obama’s request for fast-track trade promotion authority, which would expedite his desire to pass the 12-nation Asian trade deal called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Sacramento Bee reports.

An embattled Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, joined an embattled Democrat, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos, in a rare showing of bipartisan support for the Hillary Clinton-backed Obamatrade deal on Sunday morning.

Rep. Paul Ryan went on in his CNBC interview to push even harder for Obamatrade, arguing that America’s “credibility is at stake.”

Secrets not revealed: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—an opponent of the secretive Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track the Pacific Rim trade deal Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)—went inside the secret room inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday morning to read the TPP text. He wasn’t allowed to discuss the details of the pact, however.

Mike Huckabee, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, says Republicans should leave President Barack Obama’s trade agenda dead rather than hurting American workers with a big secret trade deal none of them have read.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has joined the chorus of Republican presidential candidates and members of Congress opposed to granting President Barack Obama’s request for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Pacific Rim trade deal.

It’s unclear if Mitch McConnell will now abandon his plans to push through Obama’s trade agenda, or if he’ll try again to pass it—but one thing is now clear: It’s going to be a lot more difficult than anyone thought to get this through the Senate even if it is possible to do so.

I believe in free trade. I think the evidence is compelling that the free flow of goods and services makes Americans better off and is a fundamental national interest. It also reduces global poverty and increases the potential for liberty worldwide. The costs to jobs in some industries can be partly addressed by job growth in others. So I am on board, in theory, for the Trans-Pacific Partnership and other deals, including with the EU. But I don’t think Obama has earned the trust for “fast-track.”

Several ex-national security leaders have joined forces to argue that pushing through President Barack Obama’s trade agenda is good for national security—even though it would hurt American manufacturing, could increase the already-record-high trade deficit and likely add to the national debt.

“It’s been almost an out of body experience but we’ve been working closely with the White House,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says about working with President Obama. “We’re working together to try to get it across the finish line.”

Americans clearly don’t want a big trade deal like TPP, and don’t really care about the issue that much. So here’s how pollsters and politicians intend to mislead us.

The Obama administration is attempting to manage a trade bill with such hyper-secrecy, it’s becoming its own worst enemy..

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is sounding the alarm to his colleagues Senate-wide, warning them and the American public with a “critical alert” published Sunday evening that voting for the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) deal that would set up the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal with Asian countries is fraught with problems and concerns.

As conservative populism takes a grip on the Republican Party—especially heading into the 2016 GOP primaries—it’s likely more and more presidential candidates will coming out to oppose giving Barack Obama Trade Promotion Authority.
