Hillary Clinton Opposes Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal

In a major political setback to US President Barack Obama, his party's leading presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has opposed the multi-nation Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.
She said that the goal of trade deals should be to create new jobs, raise wages and protect national security.
"What I know about it, as of today, I am not in favour of what I have learned about it," the Democratic presidential candidate told the PBS news channel.
Her remarks came days after 12 countries reached agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership following grueling Atlanta negotiations.
The TPP, an ambitious idea pushed hard by the Obama administration, would address the "21st century trade issues" such as intellectual property protections, digital trade rights and protections for investors.
