Trans-Pacific Partnership

The Trans-Pacific Partnership has been called an "opportunity for American economic development" and an "infringement on its sovereignty." We examine the pros and cons of the proposed trade agreement. 

Guests:

  • Kurt Tong is the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary.
  • Jonathan Weisman is an economic correspondent for The New York Times.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
