*For Immediate Release:* October 7, 2015 *Secretary Clinton’s statement on the Trans Pacific trade deal is a step forward but insufficient* *WASHINGTON, D.C. –* Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in an interview on PBS News Hour stated that as of today, given what she knows of the Trans Pacific Partnership deal, it does not meet her bar for creating jobs, raising wages for Americans and advancing national security. Friends of the Earth Action President Erich Pica had this statement: Secretary Clinton has been slow to respond to Americans’ concerns about the profound threat posed by the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement. She has been particularly unresponsive to concerns about the TPP's threat to effective government action for addressing climate change, unsafe chemicals, food safety and other environmental crises. Her vague and tentative address of what she's 'learned of it' today, likely signals her TPP opposition; but candidate Clinton should follow the lead of Sen. Bernie Sanders and declare her vigorous and unqualified opposition to the TPP. ### *Friends of the Earth Action provides extra political muscle on legislative battles here in the U.S. to our sister organization, Friends of the Earth <http://www.foe.org/>, which is part of a network of affiliates in 76 nations around the world. Friends of the Earth Action and its associated PAC make thoughtful political endorsements, provide direct support to candidates, and place environmentalists in the field on critical campaigns.* *===* Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] (202) 448-2898 x1
