McCain criticized Trump for withdrawing from the TPP trade deal, during a May speech in Australia calling it a “serious mistake.”Trump indicated in January that he’s open to the idea of rejoining the TPP if he could make “a substantially better deal” than Obama’s effort. … [Read more...] about John McCain Urges United States to Rejoin Trans-Pacific Partnership
