US President Barack Obama says he has the stronger argument in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which is opposed by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, and has suggested the campaign had turned the issue into a "political football".
"Hopefully after the election is over and the dust settles, there will be more attention to the actual facts behind the deal and it won't just be a political symbol or a political football," Obama said on Tuesday at a White House news conference with Singapore's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong.
