Trump's openness to TPP adds new dimension to TPP-11 conclusion

摘要

Days after the 11 parties to the new Trans-Pacific Partnership announced they had concluded negotiations for a deal without the U.S., President Trump said he would be open to negotiating some form of multilateral trade agreement with those countries - adding a new dimension to the countries' goal of signing the TPP-11 in March. Trump, in a Jan. 26 speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said "We would consider negotiating with the [TPP countries], either individually, or perhaps as a group, if it is in the interests of all." In an earlier interview with CNBC, Trump said he would be open to rejoining TPP if it was a "substantially better deal."
