A majority of congressional lawmakers are pressing the Obama administration to crack down on currency manipulation as part of negotiations on an Asia-Pacific trade deal.
The latest effort came Tuesday with a bipartisan group of 60 senators urging Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman to use the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as a vehicle for strong currency provisions.
Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), co-chairmen of the bipartisan Senate Manufacturing Caucus, are spearheading the Senate's argument that currency manipulation costs millions of U.S. jobs and needs to be addressed, not only in the TPP but in all future trade agreements.
