Submission to the investigation, Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement: Likely Impact on the U.S. Economy and on Specific Industry Sectors, by the United States International Trade Commission, February 2016 (revised April 2016)

Body

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a landmark agreement for the United States and the global trading system.
