Related: About this forumSummers: Most likely positive scenario for TPP is that new pres shifts ... position on trade deal
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal unlikely to be approved this year.
Summers notes that 4 candidates leading in polls for presidential nominations -- Republicans Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders -- all oppose TPP
I would like nothing better than to be wrong, but Im finding it difficult to envision the scenario in which a new president signals to Congress that they want to see TPP passed during the lame duck, Summers says at Council on Foreign Relations in NYC
Most likely positive scenario for TPP is that new president shifts his or her position on trade deal and theres some sort of renegotiation that provides a basis for moving forward with it

She'll just wait until she's President and then side with the Republicans on it. And Keystone Pipeline as well. Both will go through as soon as she can do it.
