By: Renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), expired since 2007, would address a “vacuum” seen as giving negotiators “unnecessary excuse to drag their feet” in reaching beneficial deals, the Federation said.
"Trade Promotion Authority gives our trade negotiators the maximum flexibility to get a deal that expands turkey sales abroad and that benefit all American poultry and livestock producers,” said Federation President, Joel Brandenberger.
“Congress retains the final say on whether a deal should be approved, and we urge the House and Senate to move swiftly to grant this authority.”
