President Trump Opens Door for US to Re-Enter TPP
(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump told CNBC on Thursday that he would reconsider the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal if the United States could strike a “substantially better” agreement. But it’s almost certainly too late for the U.S. to negotiate a new deal.
“I would do TPP if we were able to make a substantially better deal. The deal was terrible, the way it was structured was terrible. If we did a substantially better deal, I would be open to TPP,” he said in an exclusive interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
TPP was a 12-nation agreement among the United States and Pacific rim countries that was designed in part to counter China’s rising dominance of the region. But Trump withdrew from the deal last year, saying it would encourage companies to ship jobs to lower-wage countries. [ Source: CNBC (Read More…) ]
