CLEVELAND (AP) -- Hillary Clinton wants stricter rules on auto imports than the Obama administration negotiated in a sweeping Pacific trade deal that's a major priority for the White House.
Under the Trans-Pacific Partnership, automobiles could be imported tax-free into the U.S. even if most parts in those vehicles were made in countries that are not in the trade alliance.
That's drawn opposition from auto-state senators, such as Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown, who say it would encourage manufacturers to use cheaper parts from China, which is not part of the agreement.
"It's one of the reasons I oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership," said Clinton, campaigning with Brown in Youngstown on Saturday night. "When I saw what was in it, it was clear to me there were too many loopholes, too many opportunities for folks to be taken advantage of.......

Clinton, Brown to call for tougher trade standards tonight

YOUNGSTOWN – During a campaign rally in Youngstown tonight, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner, will call for higher trade standards to assist the auto industry.
Clinton will discuss standards that result in U.S. automakers facing unfair competition from overseas automakers whose cars are largely built with parts made in China, according to a campaign aide.
Clinton will attend a rally at M7 Technologies, 1019 Ohio Drive in Youngstown. She is expected to speak at 7:45 p.m. The doors will open two hours prior.
Clinton opposes weak “rules of origin” that allow cars made with cheaper materials from other countries, particularly China, to receive benefits of being “made in America” and eligible for preferences under trade deals, the aide said.
Under the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the content threshold for vehicles is 45 percent, meaning cars could receive the benefits of the trade agreement as long as at least that percentage of the car was built in the United States.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat, will be with Clinton at tonight's event. Brown has opposed this standard for automakers.
Clinton will also discuss her opposition to the “rules of origin” for the steel industry, the aide said. Clinton will discuss what her campaign calls China's trade abuses with steel that led, in part, to recent layoffs at Vallourec Star.
While numerous surrogates – including her husband, former President Bill Clinton – are campaigning throughout Ohio today, just three days before the state's primary, the candidate is making only two stops. One is in Cleveland and the other is in Youngstown.

So, she wants it both ways.
HRC can distance herself from Obama.
Bernie can't.
No wonder voters don't trust Hillary. 
Despite her tougher line, Clinton did not specify what rules on domestic auto parts she would favor as she campaigned in advance of the Ohio presidential primaries Tuesday. The Pacific trade deal can only be accepted or rejected by Congress in full — not further negotiated — so her position underscores her opposition to the agreement.
The Democratic presidential contender came out against the trade agreement in the fall, driving a wedge between Obama and herself. As his secretary of state, she had advocated for the agreement dozens of times, calling it the "gold standard" of trade deals as it took shape.
Next week it will be something else.
she "was" in the State Department when Froman was hired to do this "trade deal", and she "had" access to the classified documents, to what was going down, because, she was after all the over all manager of the department.............. you would think you would want to keep informed of what is being discussed, so the "entire" team can be on the same page.
Did she not during these "group" / "team" meeting(s) want to be kept in the loop, did she or did she not voice some objections-----------------not after the fact now------------------------that is the issue here, where was she------------------she can't haven't it both ways.
She can not hide from the fact that she was in the loop on this issue (TPP)----------------it doesn't work that way, you delegate your authority and you have meetings to keep "you" the person in the loop, so that , when let's say the president ask whats going on with let's say TPP---------------------it's going fine it's the "Gold Standard of "trade deals"----------------this is just outright shameful, to the pandering

Honk-----------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
She has the same "I was for it before I was against it" Kerry had... but ×10. It seems nearly every major issue she talks about has involved changing her position at some point or outright obfuscation. It's reason #1 behind my own flip-flop on in regards to her candidacy
