Hudson Statement on Passage of Trade Promotion Authority

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement after the House passed Trade Promotion Authority (TPA):

“Given the impact trade deals have had on our state in the past, I remain skeptical of any trade deal and will continue to work diligently to ensure any future trade agreements protect vital North Carolina businesses and jobs. The bottom line is I don’t trust President Obama to unilaterally negotiate trade deals and stand up for North Carolina jobs, and that’s why we need the transparency and check on the President this TPA provides.”
