Pacific trade ministers are optimistic of closing a sweeping Pacific Rim trade deal after progress on Friday on hurdles involving autos, dairy products and intellectual property protections for expensive biologic drugs.

Ministers represented in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks in Atlanta met for 20 minutes before breaking for negotiators to resume work on specific issues, work that Japan's Economy Minister Akira Amari said on Friday would likely go on all night.


The United States and Australia are locked in intense negotiations over the length of time pharmaceutical companies have exclusive rights to produce and market next-generation medicines.

Australia is one of a group of half a dozen countries resisting a U.S. push to set a standard of eight years protection and see five years as a red line

Because TPP's ISDS courts makes our government meaningless in trying to avoid debt or legislating for the corporate owners of our society. And her support for TPP is what should be underlined as to why she REALLY wants to help companies like Transcanada instead of standing against them, which she tries to present the illusion later of standing on.
