The document discusses the importance of trade for the U.S. retail industry and jobs. It explains that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) allows Congress to set negotiating objectives for trade agreements while retaining approval authority. TPA benefits the retail industry by enabling investment overseas, growing overseas markets for U.S. goods, expanding e-commerce, reducing tariffs, supporting trade jobs, and lowering costs for American families. The document encourages contacting Congress to voice support for renewing TPA.
