The National Retail Federation issued the following statement from Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French on the Senate’s procedural vote today on Trade Promotion Authority:
“This is more than just another routine procedural vote – this is a necessary step toward ensuring a free and open global economy where trade barriers are a thing of the past. Opening up international markets will be a legacy not only for President Obama but for every member of Congress who voted in favor of this measure. We now call on senators to pass TPA in the final vote.”
