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."

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

The big conflict this century is to determine whether multinational corporations or governments are going to be in charge. I'm in a country where the citizenry have a fair amount of control of the government nu voting, so I am decidedly on the side of the governments.
The TPP was negotiated in secret with the translational corporations haveing a big say in the result. It is a tool to establish corporate cominance over governments for the longterm.
I don't want it. I'd be happy with something that is really a trade agreement.
