Secretary Foxx Praises Trade Deal

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx is supporting legislation that would give the White House faster authority to negotiate trade deals with foreign nations.

Secretary Foxx noted that it would boost the nation’s ports, and many in the trucking industry also see the upside.

The fast-track legislation, formally known as trade promotion authority, makes it easier for the administration to negotiate trade deals by preventing Congress from amending them.

Foxx thanked lawmakers in the Senate for reaching a deal to move the fast-track trade measure, saying it would be a boon to U.S. ports that have struggled with labor issues in recent months.
