Jun 2015 International Trade Timeline of Key Recent Federal Actions on International Trade Potential Actions in 114 th Congress President Obama’s Trade Promotion Authority makes it more likely that the Trans-Pacific Partnership will be supported by a majority vote in both chambers; however, the deal will likely face opposition from labor unions and other groups, as well as members of both parties in Congress. Congress is expected to consider the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2016, most likely in the lame-duck session after the election in November, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015: Bill that reauthorizes customs and border patrol enforcement (H.R. 644) passed in the House, it later passed in the Senate with an amendment. The House did not approve the amendment, and the bill went to conference. Trade Act of 2015 Failed to Pass: The Trade Act of 2015 contained two parts: Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) and Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). While it passed in the Senate, the House voted on the parts separately and only passed TPA. Though Democrats overwhelmingly support TAA, they voted against it in the House in order to kill the entire bill. “Fast Track” Enacted and Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015: After the Trade Act of 2015 failed to pass, Congress passed fast-track authority and TAA separately by attaching them to other bills (H.R and H.R. 2146). Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement Reached: After 8 years of negotiations, the US and 11 Pacific Rim nations reached an agreement on TPP, a historic trade deal encompassing 40% of the world’s economy. The agreement will be introduced in Congress in 2016, where it will face up-or-down ratification votes under the rules of TPA. Trans-Pacific Partnership Signed: The twelve member nations signed the trade deal, which will now undergo a two-year ratification period. At least six countries must approve the deal during this time before it will be implemented. Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015: Congress passed a reauthorization of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act and it was signed into law. President Obama Visits Vietnam: At the top of the President’s agenda for Vietnam, was the TPP. Vietnam is the poorest and only non-democratic country of the signatories for the agreement. The administration views Vietnams inclusion in TPP as a victory for free trade. While in Vietnam, President Obama announced the lifting of the weapons embargo.
