Donald Trump says he will issue an executive action on his first day in office to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
In a video updating Americans on the White House transition, the President-elect described TPP as a "potential disaster for our country".
[...] Mr Trump said his administration instead intends to generate "fair, bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores".
Sky Correspondent Greg Milam said: "Donald Trump has been very critical of what trade deals have done for American workers and the damage that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) did in the 1990s - particularly to low-income workers in the Midwest, who it turns out voted for Mr Trump in huge numbers."

Oh the ignominy of having to buy your LARPing costume from China.
And the wood for your cross? Uh-huh, that's from Canada.
And the fuel is probably from one of those A-rab counties.
What's a god fearin', country lovin', not so keen on them overly suntanned people Klansmen to do?

Have I ever mentioned, Azuma Hazuki, that one of the things I like most about you is your ironclad dedication to keeping the tenor of discourse classy and high-minded at all times? And how you're never, ever a complete dumpster fire of a human being, even in jest? And your inability to get a joke?

*robotic phone message voice* We're sorry, that joke has already been used, and used in its proper context. Please hang up and try again when you have an original thought of you own, as well as some sense of when to use it. Thank you, and have a nice day. *click*
