NPR on TPP: "It's A Beast"

21. This was in the news last week, I am pretty sure.

From what I can tell, the D.C. Circuit ruled in 2014 that no country of origin labeling was required and this came out last week.

Outside view: WTO ruling on labels highlights trade deals’ double edge

The World Trade Organization’s recent ruling against a U.S. food-labeling law highlights how international trade rules can override national priorities, including ours. At issue is a 7-year-old U.S. requirement that beef and pork products be labeled to disclose their country of origin. On May 18, the WTO ruled for the fourth time that this mandate violates international agreements because it harms Mexican and Canadian meat suppliers without delivering commensurate benefits to consumers. Coming just as the Senate is debating a bill to put future trade agreements on a fast track, the timing of the decision couldn’t be worse for the Obama administration. But it’s an edifying reminder that we can’t ask our trading partners to eliminate artificial trade barriers without doing so ourselves.

I remember reading about it last week on my "new" IPad while visiting family.

That's why I was so sure that the decision was recent.
