"we have 60 Senators in a bipartisan way who have written you a letter asking that we have an inclusion of strong and enforceable currency disciplines in all future trade agreements"
"I cannot, and will not, support a TPP agreement that does not include objective criteria to define and enforce against currency manipulation."
"Ending the manipulation would reduce the trade deficit by as much as $500 billion in 3 years, increase annual GDP by between $300 and $700 billion, and create 2.3 to 5.8 million new jobs."
"If we brought our bill to a vote on the floor of the Senate, it would pass again with broad bipartisan support."
