What does the death of the T.P.P. mean for America?

         President Donald Trump signed the death warrants for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.  Throughout the presidential campaign. TPP was discussed at a high volume. Member of the Obama Administration argued that the TPP would “Help increase Made-in-American exports, grow the American economy, support well-paying American jobs, and strengthen the American middle class.” That is according to The New Yorker. The TPP would have created a pacific trade zone not unlike the zone NAFTA crated in North America but comprising multiplied countries surrounding the pacific like New Zealand, Canada, the U.S. Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Peru, and Chile by 2030.

TPP's Environment

Many environmental groups are concerned with the state of TPP's environment. The U.S. free-trade agreements from 2007 failed to require that TPP countries to follow a set of international environmental treaties. The TPP’s rules wouldn’t do enough to protect the environment from illegal activities. Fracking, which is a the term for extracting oil/as, is something we could see a whole lot more of due to the TPP. The previous agreement means our Department of Energy would automatically have to accept all exports of liquefied natural gas to all TPP countries—including Japan. This means more fracking, pollution, climate emissions and reliance on fossil fuels would exist in the countries of TPP. TPP should have found more ways to be environmentally friendly to help the planet and embrace cleanliness.
