Ross touts Trump's Indo-Pacific strategy as 'more inclusive' than TPP

摘要

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Nov. 13 said the Trump administration's Indo-Pacific plans could overshadow the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which moved forward over the weekend without the U.S. "We withdrew from a bad deal, not from a region," Ross said during a U.S.-Japan Council conference in Washington, DC. "In fact, President Trump's Indo-Pacific strategy is even more inclusive geographically than that trade pact would have been."
