Will Donald Trump shoot down TTIP or rebrand it as the ‘Trump Trade and Investment Partnership’?

摘要

When Donald Trump takes the oath of office, he will also inherit President Obama’s legacy on trade – with negotiations towards the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) ongoing. While Trump has already stated he will axe TPP, TTIP’s future is much more uncertain. Tereza Novotna outlines five scenarios for what actions Trump may take, from ditching it completely to putting it to the “back of the queue”, to rebranding and revising it to better fit with his own realpolitik.
