- In a June 2015 Bloomberg interview, Scott Walker expressed support for trade promotion authority (TPA). He explained, "If we don't go down this path, we're going to be at a competitive disadvantage, and so I think it just makes sense." Walker also noted the power Congress has to evaluate any trade agreement established under TPA, saying, "If this president were to give them a bad deal, they should hold him accountable and vote it down. They have every right to do that under the proposal.”[2]
- While in Germany during a three-country tour of Western Europe in April 2015, Walker said the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership would make his sons' generation "ultimately grow stronger."[3]
- In 2013, Walker went on a 10-day trade mission trip to China. According to WKOW, "Walker said he believes healthy dialogues between U.S. and Chinese governments is key to sustaining a good economic relationship. He says the real work on the trade mission is done before and after the trip."[4]
