How proposed trade alliance would impact Nevada
By Megan Messerly, Las Vegas Sun
The Trans-Pacific Partnership — a major trade accord struck by President Obama with 11 Pacific Rim nations in October — is far from a done deal, but it could have a major economic impact on Nevada.
To highlight the economic advantages of the trade alliance, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker released a series of reports Thursday detailing how the accord would impact each state’s economy.
It would be months before the deal could be approved. The president notified Congress he intends to sign the agreement within 90 days. But the deal still needs congressional approval, and Congress could take additional time to vote on the agreement.
