Nike announced it would create 10,000 U.S. jobs if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal is approved. President Obama visited Nike headquarters in Oregon to promote the pact, which critics argue expands corporate power and undermines labor regulations. The logic of Nike moving production back to the U.S. under a free trade deal is questioned, given the company's historical reliance on overseas labor.
