TENSIONS RISING IN US-EU TTIP NEGOTIATIONS

An increasing array of groups are joining a coalition against mega free trade agreements like NAFTA, TPP and TTIP. Trade unions, leftist parties as well as some Republicans, like senator Jeff Sessions and Presidential candidate Donald Trump. As we have seen in the EU, these mega deals are often cover for globalist schemes to destroy national sovereignty. 

UPDATE: As the US and EU continue to secretly debate the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), talks aren’t only taking place behind closed doors. Frustrations are also being aired online, according to emails obtained by Politico. An email sent on Friday and obtained by the website shows the European Commission warning the 28 EU ambassadors in Brussels that there will be no TTIP deal unless Washington changes its approach to negotiations. The document focuses on agriculture, one of the most contentious of the 27 chapters currently under negotiation in TTIP talks. (More)

But the leak has been dismissed by EU officials as “a storm in a teacup”. (More)
