One of the top trade priorities of the National Pork Producers Council is re-engaging with the TPP countries and getting the US.. to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership. Maria Zieba is Assistant Vice President for International Affairs for NPPC.

She says the U.S. needs to be in the agreement in order to get better access for those markets.
