Julia Hughes, president at the U.S. Fashion Industry Association, said passage of TPP and the Customs conference report are her group’s priorities.
“I think there’s definitely a good chance for TPP to pass this year,” Hughes said. “I still suspect that the best opportunity though will be after the election in the lame-duck session….We support TPP and we anticipate that Congress will approve TPP, but it is a question of what the best timing will be in what will be an incredibly politically charged year.”
