Agreement Must Level Playing Field for Manufacturers

“Today’s announcement on Japan’s entry into the TPP marks a very substantial transformation in the talks. The commitments that Japan has made to address longstanding challenges are encouraging, and we will continue to work vigorously with the U.S. government to ensure a level playing field for all manufacturers in the United States.
