TPP dead

Stuff reports:

US President Donald Trump has formally withdrawn the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

In one of his first acts in office, Trump signed an executive order on Monday morning (Tuesday morning NZ time) to pull out of the world’s biggest free-trade deal, signed in Auckland last year.

The left in NZ should be delighted by President Trump. He has done what they couldn’t do, and killed TPP.

Time to forget about the US when it comes to free trade and focus on other countries.
