PRESIDENTIAL VISIT Obama to talk trade in visit to Oregon, Nike Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 5:44 PM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 30, 2015 at 5:44 PM » Social News PORTLAND — President Barack Obama will campaign for free trade legislation during his Oregon trip next week. A White House statement said Thursday that Obama will attend an event at Nike headquarters May 8 in Beaverton. He plans to talk about how workers would benefit from what the statement calls "progressive, high-standards trade agreements that would open up new markets and support high-quality jobs" for businesses large and small. The Democratic president faces opposition from the left within his own party to legislation that would limit Congress to an up-or-down vote — no amendments — on a 12-nation trade deal that's in the works. But Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden has been a key Democratic backer of what's known as "fast-track" legislation. Obama arrives in Portland on Thursday for a private fundraising event.
