Hillary Clinton complicated President Barack Obama's quest for fast-track authority on his Pacific Rim trade pact by throwing her support behind fellow Democrats who staged a revolt against the measure last week.


Her criticism on the presidential campaign trail on Monday further dimmed hopes of reviving the White House's drive for a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in Congress [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/jaire-alexander-jersey/]Jaire Alexander Packers Jersey[/url] , a key piece of legislation in Obama's second term.


“I believe that one of the ways the president could get fast-track authority is to deal with the legitimate concerns of those Democrats who are potential ‘yes’ voters to see what’s in the negotiation or even what’s in the existing framework agreement that is being drafted, could be modified or changed,” said Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/ha-ha-clinton-dix-jersey/]Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Packers Jersey[/url] , on Monday in Concord, New Hampshire.


Obama's own Democrats derailed his push for authority to speed trade deals through Congress with a yes-or-no vote on Friday, casting doubt on the trade agreement central to the administration's pivot to Asia.


Although Republicans, who control Congress [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/randall-cobb-jersey/]Randall Cobb Packers Jersey[/url] , kept open the option of scheduling a repeat vote on Tuesday, House of Representatives Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said no decisions had been made about how to proceed.


Edward Alden, a trade-policy expert with the Council on Foreign Relations, that any late tweaking of the deal to appease Democrats could cost the trade pact broad support elsewhere.


“In doing what Secretary Clinton is recommending here [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/mike-daniels-jersey/]Mike Daniels Packers Jersey[/url] , the administration could well lose the support they have on the Republican side,” Alden said.


Alden doubted the deal could be altered enough to win the support of organized labor, which mounted a huge campaign against the pact.


“There’s no combination that the administration could really offer to get the AFL-CIO to support the deal,” he said.


Since her campaign entered a more expansive phase with her Saturday address in New York City [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/clay-matthews-jersey/]Clay Matthews Packers Jersey[/url] , Clinton has made it clearer that she is actively courting the left wing of the Democratic Party, which fears the trade deal would hurt American workers.


The TPP is fiercely opposed not only by labor but by environmental groups and liberal activists who want improved human rights in Asia.


Despite her recent remarks, Clinton has attempted to tread cautiously on TPP, given the support for the pact by the White House and the U.S. business community.


Time is running out to secure fast-track authority [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/aaron-rodgers-jersey/]Aaron Rodgers Packers Jersey[/url] , which restricts lawmakers to a yes-or-no vote on trade deals, and wrap up the TPP pact so it can pass Congress this year, before 2016 presidential elections begin to dominate the political and policy agenda.


White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the administration was working to "help Democrats and Republicans on the Hill figure this out," but was not pushing any particular legislative solution.


Obama put in a phone call to House Speaker John Boehner on Monday [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/bart-starr-jersey/]Bart Starr Youth Jersey[/url] , Earnest said. The president also spent the weekend playing golf, hosting a private concert with singer Prince and attending a dance recital featuring one of his daughters.


“The president continues to be confident that we will navigate this particular procedural snafu and move this across the finish line,” Earnest said.


Many Asia leaders have said it is vital that the United States be able to pass the trade pact if America wants to stay engaged and be taken seriously by the Asia Pacific region.


"Trade is strategy and you’re either in or out," Singapore's Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam said on Monday. "It’s very [url=http://www.cheapnflpackersjerseys.com/ty-montgomery-jersey/]Ty Montgomery Youth Jersey[/url] , very serious and your credibility - let’s be frank about it - the president wants it, everybody knows this is important and you can't get it done? How credible are you going to be?"

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang (R) meets with visiting secretariat head of Japan's National Security Council Shotaro Yachi in Beijing， capital of China， Aug. 25， 2016. (XinhuaZhang Duo)


BEIJING， Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday urged China and Japan to make joint efforts to push bilateral relations back to a normal track.


Li told visiting secretariat head of Japan's National Security Council Shotaro Yachi that the two countries should accumulate positive factors and reduce negative elements in bilateral ties.


Both sides should adhere to the four political documents reached by the two countries in 1972， 1978， 1998 and 2008， said the premier.


The China-Japan relationship is still very fragile although there is a momentum of improvement， according to Li.


In the meeting， Yachi read Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's letter to Li. Abe said that Japan is ready to work with China to forge a stable relationship that can benefit both sides.


Japan expects a successful G20 summit and is willing to enhance cooperation with China in this regard， Abe said in the letter. Abe will attend the summit to be held on Sept. 4-5 in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou.


Li called on both sides to properly deal with new and old issues between the two countries， steadily push forward exchanges and cooperation， and maintain the positive momentum of bilateral ties.


He hoped Japan will really adopt a correct understanding of China and fulfil the commitment to taking China's development as its opportunity.


The two countries should also jointly safeguard peace and stability in surrounding sea areas， according to Li.


Japan wants to strengthen high-level contact and communication with China， Yachi said， adding the country is also willing to work with China to control their differences in the East China Sea.


Earlier in the day， Yachi and Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi co-chaired the third China-Japan high-level political dialogue.


Yang called on Japan to "play a constructive role" in the G20 Hangzhou summit.
