Pelosi Will Oppose Obama on Trade

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “in a meandering but dramatic floor speech on Friday said she will vote against a measure providing assistance to workers displaced by trade,” The Hill reports.

“Pelosi’s opposition to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program casts doubt on whether the measure will pass. If it fails, it could sink a broader trade package that includes President Obama’s request for fast-track trade authority.”
