"The campaign to include enforceable obligations on currency manipulation in U.S. trade agreements is gaining momentum. On January 9th, the American Automobile Policy Council (APPC) unveiled its proposal for a currency manipulation clause for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, making its support for this key trade initiative contingent on the adoption of such enforceable provisions. The following day, leaders of the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over international trade finally introduced the draft of a trade promotion authority bill with the novel addition of currency manipulation as a main negotiation objective."
