For the past several years, I have had many discussions about trade with the people of Northwest Oregon. I’ve spoken with farmers, environmentalists, semiconductor chip manufacturers, wine makers, steelworkers, sports and outdoor apparel companies, electrical workers, and others. Most of the conversations have focused on the potential Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement that the United States is negotiating with 11 other countries.
