Reichert Sees TPA Delay Until After Elections, Signals Possible Changes

摘要

Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA) acknowledged late last week that Congress may not consider the renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) until after the November elections, due to what he said were domestic political pressures related to the midterm elections. He also held open the possibility that the pending bill could be changed to garner the support of newly appointed Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) and other Democrats.
