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.

Im not surprised he killed it. His platform was heavily isolationist and nationalistic. Who knows if the tpp would have been good or bad now though. There were some good things in it. I think the media and other politicians managed to sway public opinion enough to build pressure that caused its unfavorable views to perpetuate.
