  • Carly Fiorina criticized the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal during an interview on "The Laura Ingraham Show" on December 1, 2015. Citing the inclusion of previous environmental agreements in the deal, Fiorina said, “[T]hese extremely complicated, multi-party agreements are not in our interest, because buried in the 5,000 pages negotiated with 12 other countries, are trap doors. ...trade agreements are far better when negotiated bilaterally, as opposed to multilaterally. Secondly, it makes no sense to lock this country in to a multilateral agreement, negotiated over years in secret, that has trap doors, such as you just described.”[2]
  • On November 9, 2015, Fiorina said she opposed the TPP trade deal. She said, “It’s 30 chapters long the thing has been negotiated in secret for almost two years. The people only now are getting a look at what’s in this thing. ...“There’s a whole bunch of stuff in there that can only be described as crony capitalism, special giveaways to certain industries.” Fiorina also said she wants to simplify the tax code and examine all of the regulations created by the Obama administration.[3]
  • During a May 10, 2015, interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Fiorina commented on the TPP trade deal. She said, "The truth is, we don't know what's in this deal. We know that we have trading partners who have violated agreements in trade deals. ...I think it's important to understand some of the fine print of this deal. This is being sold as an opportunity for America to strengthen its lead and its partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region. I certainly agree with that goal. On the other hand, if the truth is in these details, that China gets to join later, then what exactly are we doing here?"[4]
  • According to Carly Fiorina's 2010 "Economic Growth Plan," she promised to "support and vote to approve the United States’ free trade agreements with South Korea and Colombia, as well as the Panama Trade Promotion Agreement."[5]
