  • On May 10, 2015, Bobby Jindal argued against giving President Barack Obama trade promotion authority (TPA), which he requested to help complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal. Jindal said, "I'm in favor of trade. I've been in favor of giving presidents fast-track authority. I'm not in favor of giving this president fast-track authority. I don't trust him to use that authority. This is a president that has broken the law." When asked specifically about the TPP, Jindal said, "We don't know what's in the deal. Too much of this deal has been negotiated in private — in secret. I think Congress needs to maintain more oversight over this president. There's been a lot of speculation about what could or could not be in there. For example, I want to make sure this is not a back-door way for him to try and impose the kinds of environmental regulations he's trying to do through the [Environmental Protection Agency] around Congress. ... You look at the very one-sided deal he negotiated with China. I worry, is he going to strangle our economy?"[2]
  • In 2005, as a member of the House, Bobby Jindal voted against H.R.3045 - the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, also known as CAFTA.[3]
  • Jindal voted for H.R.5684 - the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act. It became law on September 26, 2006.[4]
