Chamber of Commerce leads Big Business attack on Trump over trade

Washington (CNN)The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers — two powerful business lobbies both traditionally supportive of Republican candidates -- took the highly unusual step of lashing out at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump during his speech Tuesday that hammered U.S. free-trade deals.

"Under Trump's trade plans, we would see higher prices, fewer jobs, and a weaker economy," the Chamber tweeted during the speech in Monessen, Pennsylvania, linking to an analysis that argues Trump's trade positions would throw the United States into an economic recession.

.....

The Chamber rebutted Trump point-by-point, arguing that NAFTA has created 5 million jobs, that the United States is selling more to South Korea since signing a trade deal and that the Trans-Pacific Partnership would add $77 billion to the U.S. economy by 2025.
"Even under best case scenario, Trump's tariffs would strip us of at least 3.5 million jobs," the Chamber tweeted.
