Trump Proposes Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership

. .
WASHINGTON — President Trump, in a sharp reversal, told a gathering of farm state lawmakers and governors on Thursday morning that he was directing his advisers to look into rejoining the multicountry trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal he pulled out of days after assuming the presidency.

Rejoining the 11-country pact could be a significant change in fortune for many American industries that stood to benefit from the trade agreement’s favorable terms and Republican lawmakers who supported the pact. The deal, which was negotiated by the Obama administration, was largely viewed as a tool to prod China into making the type of economic reforms that the United States and others have long wanted.

TPP didn't catch any wind when Obama was pushing it as only a few insignificant nations signed up. Trump just took it off life support.

WOW what a quick U-turn. the US signing the pact is extremely important by the economic and strategic perspective.
Its not U turn, Trump finnaly realize that he can beat CN alone in trade war and of course he cant beat both CN-TPP, so joining TPP is the best choice for him now.

This is what we discussed before,bro
We learned from Vn war that if we dont beat up US, then she will never sit down and negotiate. Just like US only left S.Vn after her mighty air force was defeated in 1972.

So, lets start running TPP deal first and try hard to make it work well, then US have to re-think abt TPP if she doesnt wanna to miss a chance to be "Great again" :)
