PHILADELPHIA— Mayor Jim Kenney today issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s executive orders to withdrawal from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and reinstate the so called “Mexico City Policy.”

“While I concur with the President’s decision not to proceed with the TPP without a plan to support the middle class jobs that would likely be lost as a result, I’m deeply disappointed in his decision to reinstate the Mexico City policy. It will hurt women’s healthcare across the globe, especially in communities where maternity mortality rates remain unconscionably high. I urge him to reconsider his decision.”
