Trans-Pacic Partnership
Clinton Played A Leading Role In Drafting The TPP, And Has Called It The Gold
Standard
As Secretary Of State, Clinton Took "A Leading Part In Drafting The Trans-Pacic
ARCHIVE
Partnership." "She's pressed the case for U.S. business in Cambodia, Singapore,
Vietnam, Indonesia, and other countries in China's shadow. She's also taken a leading
part in drafting the Trans-Pacic Partnership, a free trade pact that would give U.S.
companies a leg up on their Chinese competitors." (Elizabeth Dwoskin and Indira

Clinton Had Said The Trans-Pacic Partnership Sets The Gold Standard In Trade
Agreements. CLINTON: [We] need to keep upping our game both bilaterally and
with partners across the region through agreements like the Trans-Pacic
Partnership or TPP. Australia is a critical partner. This TPP sets the gold standard in
trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that
has the rule of law and a level playing eld. And when negotiated, this agreement
will cover 40 percent of the world's total trade and build in strong protections for
workers and the environment. (Hillary Clinton,Remarks at Techport Australia ,

The TPP Is Projected To Lead To The Elimination Of Over 2 Million U.S. Jobs
The Economic Policy Institute Estimates That The U.S. Trade Decit With The 11 TPP
Nations Led To The Elimination Of More Than 2 Million U.S. Jobs In 2015.The U.S.
trade decit with the 11 other TPP countries eliminated 2 million jobs, as shown in
Table 2, which reports the number of direct, indirect, and respending jobs lost
(aggregated over all industries). The trade decit between the United States and the
11 other TPP member countries in 2015 directly eliminated 418,900 jobs. In addition to

the direct jobs lost, the U.S. trade decit with the TPP country group eliminated an
additional 847,200 indirect jobs in supplier industries, including jobs in
manufacturing, commodity, and service industries. Finally, wages lost because of
direct and indirect job cuts from the trade decits with the TPP member countries
would have supported an additional 759,700 respending jobs. The direct, indirect,
and respending jobs displaced by the U.S. trade decit with TPP member countries
totals 2,025,800 jobs lost.(Robert E. Scott and Elizabeth Glass, Trans-Pacic

NAFTA
Clinton Has Continually Praised NAFTA As A Boon To The Economy
In 1998, Clinton Praised The Passage Of NAFTA, Pledging To Continue Free Trade
Advocacy: It Is Certainly Clear That We Have Not By Any Means Finished The Job
That Has Begun. At the 1998 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, she
praised corporations for mounting a very effective business effort in the U.S. on
behalf of NAFTA. She added: It is certainly clear that we have not by any means
nished the job that has begun. (Kristin Jensen and Mark Drajem, Clinton Breaks
With Husbands Legacy On NAFTA Pact, China Trade, Bloomberg, 3/30/07)
In 2006, Clinton Said That She Thinks NAFTA Has Been A Boon To The Economy.
CLINTON: Clinton thinks NAFTA has been a boon to the economy, but voted against
the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement, saying it would
drive jobs offshore. (Michael Rothfeld, Newsdays Guide To Politics And Politicians,
Newsday, 9/11/06)
NAFTA Has Cost Nearly 700,000 American Jobs

The Economic Policy Institute Estimates That The U.S. Trade Decit Caused By
NAFTA Has Resulted In Nearly 700,000 Lost U.S. Jobs Through 2010.NAFTA led to a
ood of outsourcing and foreign direct investment in Mexico. U.S. imports from
Mexico grew much more rapidly than exports, leading to growing trade decits, as
shown in the Figure. Jobs making cars, electronics, and apparel and other goods
moved to Mexico, and job losses piled up in the United States, especially in the
Midwest where those products used to be made. By 2010,trade decits with Mexico
had eliminated 682,900 good U.S. jobs, most (60.8 percent) in
manufacturing.(Robert E. Scott, NAFTAs Legacy,Economic Policy Institute, 12/17/13)
Normalizing Trade Relations With China

Clinton Claimed She Would Have Voted To Normalize Trade Relations If She Was In
The Senate At The Time
In October 2000, Clinton Said She Supported Normalizing Trade Relations With
China, And Would Have Voted For It Had She Been In The Senate.CLINTON: Had I
been in the Senate this year, I would have voted for normalizing trade relations with
China. (Hillary Clinton,Remarks To The Council On Foreign Relations, New York, NY,
10/17/00)
The Trade Decit With China Has Cost 3.2 Million American Jobs Between 2001 And
2013
During Clintons Four Years As Secretary Of State, Year-On-Year Trade Decits With
China Increased By $89 Billion, Or Over 39 Percent.(Trade In Goods With China,U.S.
Census Bureau, Accessed 6/1/16)
After Normalizing Trade Relations With China, The Economic Policy Institute
Estimated That Growth In The U.S. Goods Trade Decit With China Between 2001
And 2013 Eliminated Or Displaced 3.2 Million U.S. Jobs. Growth in the U.S. goods
trade decit with China between 2001 and 2013 eliminated or displaced 3.2 million
U.S. jobs, 2.4 million (three-fourths) of which were in manufacturing. These lost
manufacturing jobs account for about two-thirdsof all U.S. manufacturing jobs lost or
displaced between December, 2001 and December 2013. (Will Kimball and Robert E.
Scott, China Trade, Outsourcing And Jobs,Economic Policy Institute, 12/11/14)
Through 2013, Chinas Entry Into The World Trade Organization (WTO) In 2001 Has
Led To Skyrocketing Trade Decits That Has Killed 3.2 Million U.S. Jobs. Between
2001, when China came into the WTO, and 2013 the U.S. trade decit with China
increased $240 billion. These growing trade decits eliminated 3.2 million U.S. jobs.
China became the third largest recipient of FDI in the world, which fueled the growth
of thousands of new manufacturing plants that generated exports to the United
States and other markets. (Robert E. Scott, Fast Track To Lost Jobs And Lower
Wages, Economic Policy Institutes Working Economics Blog, 4/13/15)
KORUS
Clinton Called Ratifying The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement One Of Her Top
Priorities While Secretary Of State
In 2011, Clinton Said Convincing Congress To Ratify The U.S.-Korea Free Trade
Agreement Was One Of Her Top Priorities.CLINTON: I am pleased to report that
KORUS is currently ready for review by the United States Congress. This is a high, if
not a top -- I think it is probably one of my top priorities for the next months. We are
determined to get it done, and I believe we will. We will need your help. It will be
important to keep making the case to both of our respective legislative
bodies.(Secretary Hillary Clinton, Remarks At The American Chamber of Commerce
Breakfast, Seoul, South Korea, 4/17/11)
In 2012, Clinton Called The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement A Historic Milestone
That Will Lead To Even More Trade And Investment Between Our Two Countries.
CLINTON: Today, the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) enters into force,
marking an historic milestone that will lead to even more trade and investment
between our two countries. KORUS will provide new market access opportunities in
Koreas dynamic trillion dollar economy for U.S. exporters, creating jobs here at home
while increasing opportunities for Korean companies in the United States. This
agreement is another example of this Administration's commitment to deepening
our economic engagement throughout the world. (Press Release, U.S., Korea Free
Trade Agreement Takes Effect, U.S. State Department, 3/15/12)
Since KORUS Ratication, Trade Decits Have Skyrocketed And Job Losses Have
Soared To 95,000
The U.S. Has Lost More Than 95,000 Jobs Due To The Rising Trade Decit With
South Korea In The Wake Of KORUS.Meanwhile, the rapid growth of Korean imports
has eliminated tens of thousands of U.S. jobs. Using the trade and employment
multipliers implied in the White House KORUS fact sheet, I estimate that the growth
in the U.S. trade decit with Korea between 2011 and 2015 has cost more than 95,000
U.S. jobs. Most of those jobs lost were in manufacturing (the growth of the
manufacturing trade decit was responsible for nearly three quarters, or 74.9 percent
of the growth in the total U.S.-Korea trade decit). In addition, the U.S. trade surplus
in agriculture and primary commodities declined by $1.2 billion in this period, also
contributing to growing trade-related job losses.(Robert E. Scott, U.S.-Korea Trade

Clinton Was Paid $800,000 By The Colombia-Based Gold Service International To
Give Four Speeches Throughout Latin America.In June 2005, Clinton was paid
$800,000 by the Colombia-based Gold Service International to give four speeches

markets and create jobs and opportunities for both of our peoples. (Hillary Clinton,
Remarks With Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin, Washington, DC,

The Agreement Is Projected To Cost Americans 55,000 Jobs

Columbia Increased By $6.4 Billion, Or Over 340 Percent. (Trade In Goods With
Columbia,U.S. Census Bureau, Accessed 6/1/16)
In 2010, The Economic Policy Institute Estimated That The Colombia Free Trade
Agreement Would Cost The United States 55,000 Jobs By 2015.In 2008, U.S. imports
from Colombia could have supported 127,000 jobs if produced domestically, and
exports supported 99,000 jobs, so net trade with Colombia resulted in a net
displacement of 27,000 U.S. jobs. Given projected changes, the growth of the U.S.
trade decit with Colombia will displace 83,000 U.S. jobs in 2015, for a net loss of an
additional 55,000 jobs.(Robert E. Scott, U.S. Trade Deals With Colombia And Korea
Will Be Costly,Economic Policy Institute, 2/25/10)
Normalizing Trade Relations With Vietnam

Clinton Voted To Normalize Trade Relations With Vietnam As A Senator
In 2001, Clinton Voted With The Majority Of Senators To Normalize Trade Relations
With Vietnam. Passage of the joint resolution that would grant annual normal trade
relations status to Vietnam. The resolution would allow Vietnamese imports to
receive the same tariffs as those of other U.S. trading partners.(H. J. Res. 51. CQ Vote

Trade Normalization Went Into Effect After Vietnam Approved The Agreement A
Month After It Was Approved By Congress. Finally, after ratication last month by
the United States Congress, Vietnam's National Assembly voted today, 278 to 85, to
carry out the agreement. It is expected to take effect at the start of the year. (Seth

In An October 2015 Interview, Clinton Said The VA Scandal Has Not Been As
Widespread As It Has Been Made Out To Be. CLINTON: Yeah, and I dont understand
that. You know, I dont understand why we have such a problem, because there have
been a number of surveys of veterans, and overall, veterans who do get treated are
satised with their treatment. Now MSNBCS RACHEL MADDOW: Much more so
than people in the regular system. CLINTON: Thats exactly right. MSNBCS RACHEL
MADDOW: Yeah. Right. CLINTON: Now, nobody would believe that from the
coverage that you see, and the constant berating of the VA that comes from the
Republicans, in part in pursuit of this ideological agenda that they have. MSNBCS
RACHEL MADDOW: But in part because there has been real scandal. CLINTON:
There has been. And but its not been as widespread as it has been made out to be.
(MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show, 10/23/15)
Through A Spokesman, Clinton Refused To Apologize For Her Remarks.
Republicans are trying to suggest the only solution to the VAs problems is to
privatize it, but Hillary Clinton will not apologize for insisting on doing the hard work
to reform the VA, rather than ending it altogether, [Clinton campaign Press Secretary
Brian] Fallon said. (Ben Kelsing, Republicans Take Aim at Hillary Clinton For VA

taking a lot of criticism about some recent comments you made about the VA, saying
the scandal was overblown and that the problems arent as widespread as people
would have you believe. Do you stand by these comments? CLINTON: You know, I
share the outrage that everybody felt when the scandal was nally discovered and
people began to address it. There were clearly systemic problems and those
problems must be dealt with, Ive already been talking about what I would do. But I
am worried about some people trying to use the fact that we need to make major
reforms as a justication for dismantling the VA and I think my comments were really
more directed at that. I want us to x whats wrong, I want us to make sure that
anyone whos ever served our country, no matter what age, no matter when they
served, gets whatever medical support that they need and I support the program
that was passed to provide the opportunity if you cant get the services that you need
in your VA to be able to go out and get those services in the community. But from all
of my work on behalf of veterans, theres a lot about the VA thats right, a lot that
works. So lets focus on whats wrong and x it and not let anybody use that as an
excuse, because there are things that have to be xed, to try to dismantle the VA.

Sanders In The Primary. "A new leak of internal emails from the Democratic National
Committee appears to support the long-held suspicions of some Bernie Sanders

emails Friday, which came from 'seven key gures' in the DNC, including
communications director Luis Miranda and national nance director Jordon Kaplan."

Director Calling Sanders Obnoxious. "WikiLeaks released the 19,252 emails Friday,
which came from 'seven key gures' in the DNC, including communications director

The Favoritism Towards Clinton Over Sanders In The Primary Led To Wasserman
Schultz Resignation. Ms. Wasserman Schultz was widely criticized during the
Democratic primary by supporters of Bernie Sanders of using her position at the DNC
to tip the race toward Mrs. Clinton. At least some of that was conrmed at the
weekend by the release by Wikileaks of internal DNC emails, which forced her to
announce her resignation Sunday. (Victor Morton, Wasserman Schultz Immediately

Wasserman Schultz Was Immediately Hired By Clinton As A Thank You For Rigging
The System To Win The Nomination. But in a reaction statement to reporters
Sunday, Mrs. Clinton gave Ms. Wasserman Schultz a soft landing by announcing that
she would join the Clinton campaign. I am glad that she has agreed to serve as
honorary chair of my campaigns 50-state program to gain ground and elect
Democrats in every part of the country, Mrs. Clinton said in the statement. (Victor

Former Defense Secretary Gates: Clinton Failed To Plan For A Post-Gadda Libya
In A New Report, Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates Criticized Clintons Libya
Post-Intervention Plan: We Were Playing It By Ear. The only strategy spelled out
publicly was that the Europeans newly formed Libyan Transitional Council would be
at the forefront of the effort. Washington was leading from behind, to use a famous
phrase from the era. As then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who opposed the
U.S. intervention, frustratingly explained to The Daily Beast: We were playing it by
ear. (Nancy A. Youssef, Hillarys Libya Post-War Plan Was Play It By Ear, Gates Says,
The Daily Beast, 10/20/15)

As She Planned For The Intervention, Clinton Failed To Resolve How Just How
Libya Would Be Governed After Gadda. In 2011, as the United States considered
intervention, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was among those who pushed
for interventionwithout resolving just how Libya would be governed after Gadda,
according to a senior defense ofcial who was part of the decision-making process.

government, limits on freedom of speech and assembly, and discrimination against
women, including political and economic exclusion based on cultural norms. Thirtytwo individuals were convicted on charges of libel against the sultan during the year,
receiving prison sentences from six to 18 months and nes of 500 to 1,000 Omani
rials (approximately $1,300 to $2,600). Another 12 individuals were convicted on
charges of illegal assembly (assembly without a permit) while peacefully protesting
some of the libel convictions. The protesters each received a prison sentence of one
year and a 1,000 rial ne (approximately $2,600). (Country Reports On Human

who had been implicated by Russian accountant Sergei Magnitsky, who was jailed

the former head of Kazatomprom, Moukhtar Dzhakishev, as saying that the deal
required government approval and was discussed at a dinner with the president, Mr.

Rosatom Is The Russian Atomic Energy Agency. The article, in January 2013,
detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a
Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the
American West. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton Foundation As
Russia Wanted A Stake In The Uranium Mines Because Their Country Lacks

Without Guistras Original 2005 UrAsia Energy Ltd. Deal Making Inroads To The

The Deal. Mr. Telfers undisclosed donations came in addition to between $1.3 million
and $5.6 million in contributions, which were reported, from a constellation of people
with ties to Uranium One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium
Ones most valuable asset: the Kazakh mines. Without those assets, the Russians
would have had no interest in the deal: It wasnt the goal to buy the Wyoming mines.
The goal was to acquire the Kazakh assets, which are very good, Mr. Novikov, the
Rosatom spokesman, said in an interview. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash
Uranium One Pressed The American Embassy In Kazakhstan For Written
Conrmation That The Licenses Were Valid According To American Cables. It was
against this backdrop that the Vancouver-based Uranium One pressed the American
Embassy in Kazakhstan, as well as Canadian diplomats, to take up its cause with
Kazakh ofcials, according to the American cables. We want more than a statement
to the press, Paul Clarke, a Uranium One executive vice president, told the embassys
energy ofcer on June 10, the ofcer reported in a cable. That is simply chitchat.
What the company needed, Mr. Clarke said, was ofcial written conrmation that the
licenses were valid. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton

The American Embassy Reports To The Secretary Of State, And The Cable Was
Copied To Clinton. The American Embassy ultimately reported to the secretary of
state, Mrs. Clinton. Though the Clarke cable was copied to her, it was given wide
circulation, and it is unclear if she would have read it; the Clinton campaign did not

In 2010 Russia Made An Offer For A Controlling 51 Percent Stake In Uranium One
In 2010 When The Russians Wanted To Up Their Stake In Uranium One To 51
Percent, Giving Them A Controlling Stake, It Set Off Alarm Bells In America. But it
was the 2010 deal, giving the Russians a controlling 51 percent stake, that set off
alarm bells. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton Foundation As
This Generous Offer To Shareholders Came Within A Year Of The 17 Percent Stake
Deal. And within a year, the Russian government substantially upped the ante, with

The Highest Ofcials In America, Including Secretary Clinton Had The Ultimate
Authority To Sign Off On The Deal Because Of Its National Security Implications
Before Approval Of The 51% Russian Controlling Stake Of Uranium One, US
Government Had To Sign Off On The Deal. But rst, Uranium One had to get the
American government to sign off on the deal.(Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash
The Power To Sign Off On These Deals Rests With The Committee On Foreign
Investment In The United States. When a company controlled by the Chinese
government sought a 51 percent stake in a tiny Nevada gold mining operation in
2009, it set off a secretive review process in Washington, where ofcials raised
concerns primarily about the mines proximity to a military installation, but also
about the potential for minerals at the site, including uranium, to come under
Chinese control. The ofcials killed the deal. Such is the power of the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed
To Clinton Foundation As Russians Pressed For Control Of Uranium Company,The
New York Times, 4/23/15)

Experts Say That Russias Interest In Uranium One And Its American Uranium
Reserves Seemed To Warrant Attention At The Highest Levels. Not all of the
committees decisions are personally debated by the agency heads themselves; in
less controversial cases, deputy or assistant secretaries may sign off. But experts and
former committee members say Russias interest in Uranium One and its American
uranium reserves seemed to warrant attention at the highest levels. (Jo Becker and
Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton Foundation As Russians Pressed For Control Of
Secretary Clinton Was On This Committee. Such is the power of the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States. The committee comprises some of the most
powerful members of the cabinet, including the attorney general, the secretaries of
the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, Commerce and Energy, and the secretary
of state. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton Foundation As
Such High Level Ofcials Are On This Committee Because Any Deal That Could
Result In Foreign Control Of An American Business Or Asset Deemed Important To
National Security Warrants Such Attention. They are charged with reviewing any
deal that could result in foreign control of an American business or asset deemed
important to national security. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton
Times, 4/23/15)
The Uranium One Deal Was Important To National Security Because It Concerned
American Dependence On Foreign Uranium Sources. The national security issue at
stake in the Uranium One deal was not primarily about nuclear weapons
proliferation; the United States and Russia had for years cooperated on that front,
with Russia sending enriched fuel from decommissioned warheads to be used in
American nuclear power plants in return for raw uranium. Instead, it concerned
American dependence on foreign uranium sources. (Jo Becker and Mike
The United States Needs Uranium For Powering Nuclear Energy Plants, Where We
Get One Fifth Of Our Power From, But We Only Produce Around 20% Of The
Uranium We Need To Do So. While the United States gets one-fth of its electrical
power from nuclear plants, it produces only around 20 percent of the uranium it
needs, and most plants have only 18 to 36 months of reserves, according to Marin
Katusa, author of The Colder War: How the Global Energy Trade Slipped From
Americas Grasp. (Jo Becker and Mike McIntire,Cash Flowed To Clinton Foundation

The Sale Gave The Russians Control Of One-Fifth Of All Uranium Production
Capacity In The United States. Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the
most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fth of all

The Ultimate Authority To Approve Or Reject The Russian Acquisition Rested With
Cabinet Ofcials On The Foreign Investment Committee Including Mrs. Clinton
Still, the ultimate authority to approve or reject the Russian acquisition rested with
the cabinet ofcials on the foreign investment committee, including Mrs. Clinton
whose husband was collecting millions in donations from people associated with
