Powerful US senator from Montana, Max Baucus in Aukland, New Zealand to push free trade deal

One of the most power US senators has arrived in New Zealand to promote the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free pact, currently under negotiation.

Montana Democrat Max Baucus – the head of the Senate’s Finance committee, and first elected to represent his state in 1978 – will meet with Prime Minister John Key, Trade Minister Tim Groser, Speaker Lockwood Smith and Maori business leaders.

Our government is already a staunch supporter of the TPP, which has been under negotiation by Pacific Rim countries since 2005.
