More than two-dozen Republican senators on Tuesday released a letter they sent to President Donald Trump, requesting the president reengage on talks to join one of the world’s largest trade agreements.
The letter, spearheaded by Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, asked Trump to reconsider his decision to pull the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The president signed an executive order to begin the process of removing the US from TPP negotiations on January 23, 2017 — just three days after he took office.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
