McConnell on Senate Passage of Trade Promotion Authority
‘The trade legislation we passed is all about creating new opportunities for bigger paychecks, better jobs, and a stronger economy.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement after Senate passage of Trade Promotion Authority:
“Tonight’s vote shows that Republicans and Democrats can stand strong, together, for the Middle Class; it’s yet another example of a new Congress that’s back to work on behalf of the American people. The trade legislation we passed is all about creating new opportunities for bigger paychecks, better jobs, and a stronger economy. The tools it contains will allow us to knock down unfair foreign trade barriers that discriminate against American workers and products stamped “Made in the USA.” I commend Sens. Hatch and Wyden for all their efforts to manage this bill in a bipartisan spirit. And I thank President Obama for standing up to his base and joining Republicans in helping to advance such an important measure for the Middle Class.”
