Hillary Clinton speaks out against new trade agreement

US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday she does not support the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, reached on Monday after marathon talks between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations.

"As of today, I'm not in favor of what I have learned about it," Clinton said in an interview on the public-television news program PBS NewsHour, noting that she doesn't believe the deal will meet her "high bar" for creating good US jobs, raising wages and advancing national security.

The former secretary of state said she was "worried" about currency manipulation not being part of the trade deal and that "pharmaceutical companies may have gotten more benefits, and patients and consumers fewer".
