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."

    keeping the tenor of discourse classy and high-minded at all times?

    Shall we dig up some of your replies to jmorris or the uzzard? Notwithstanding my agreement or disagreement with your opinion in those posts, I'm not sure they meet the common classification of "classy" and "high-minded"...

    SN is turning into a meatgrinder of namecalling these days. Really wish that would stop.

      I find it sometimes entertaining, although not enough to join in :-) My impression is that most people are mainly rude to those already known to be rude as well. Sure, some hotheads will attack anyone, but ... you know... stick and stones...
