AAPC Statement on Trans-Pacific Partnership Discussions in Singapore

Washington, D.C. - American Automotive Policy Council President Matt Blunt today issued the following statement at the conclusion of the latest round of Trans-Pacific Partnership discussions in Singapore:

“AAPC member companies have supported every major trade agreement ratified by Congress. As global companies, we benefit from improved access to foreign markets. It is disappointing that the U.S. government has yet to bring up currency concerns in the negotiations and we urge them to do so as TPP discussions continue. For AAPC to support TPP, it is imperative that strong and enforceable currency language -- a key priority for the industry and supported by bipartisan majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate -- is included in the final agreement.”
