Global Automakers Applauds Senate for Approving TPA-2015 - Urges House to Follow Suit

WASHINGTON, May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Senators who voted for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation today deserve credit and thanks for their role in advancing opportunities for American economic growth.  Open trade and investment policies have been essential to the success of international automakers, who are driving the growth of the U.S. auto industry.

"International automakers now account for 46 percent of total U.S. production - creating products here for sale locally and around the world.  Tools like TPA are vital for the U.S. to continue on a path toward sustained growth and competitiveness.

"We urge the House to act quickly in support of similar legislation."
