Donald Trump has vowed to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal — and as president he’d be empowered to stop the trade agreement even if Congress passes it. Between the voluminous TPP text and the “fast-track” trade promotion authority law passed last year, there are a pair of provisions that allow the president to slow-walk or even kill the landmark 12-nation pact. The same fast-track authority intended to give a president the power to push complicated trade deals forward, could easily be used to do the exact opposite, giving a President Trump — or Hillary Clinton — more leeway than most people realize to indefinitely delay the pact regardless of what Congress does.
