Bipartisan group of senators tells Biden admin to halt 'secret negotiations' with foreign trade partners

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators, led by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), has urged the Biden administration to cease secretive trade negotiations with foreign partners. In a letter addressed to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, the senators expressed concerns over the lack of transparency in these talks, particularly with countries like the UK, Japan, and Kenya. They argue that such negotiations, which could have significant implications for American workers, should be conducted openly with Congressional oversight. The senators highlighted past trade agreements like NAFTA and the TPP, which they believe have negatively impacted American jobs and wages due to similar secretive processes. They emphasized the need for any new trade deals to be debated and shaped by Congress to ensure they benefit American workers and industries.
