Obama To Push Passage Of TPP Trade Deal Despite Rising Public Opposition

“The president remains fully committed to working to achieve ratification on the U.S. side and encouraging all of our TPP partners to move through their domestic processes to do the same,” Rice told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday.
