They want the Obama administration to ensure that the TPP includes core international labor standards for all participants, a high level of environmental protection, and access to affordable medicines, among other measures. If the administration takes these entirely reasonable demands on board, the resulting agreement would have considerable bipartisan support.
但民主党的反对不无道理。他们希望奥巴马政府确保TPP包含适用于所有参与方的核心国际劳动标准、高水平环境保护措施、平价医疗和其他措施。如果奥巴马政府在谈判中提出这些完全合理的要求，那么协定将获得两党的大力支持。如果奥巴马选择忽略这些要求，最终协定将更加极化——国会将在几乎没有民主党支持的情况下通过该协定。
