U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday she does not support the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), rejecting a central tenet of President Barack Obama's strategic pivot to Asia.
Clinton said during a campaign swing in Iowa that she is worried about currency manipulation not being part of the agreement and that "pharmaceutical companies may have gotten more benefits and patients fewer."
"As of today, I am not in favor of what I have learned about it," Clinton said in an interview with the public broadcasting program "Newshour," filmed during a stop at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. "I don’t believe it’s going to meet the high bar I have set."
