On JAN 23rd, POTUS Donald Trump withdrew from the negotiations process over the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the gargantuan and poisonous 'free-trade agreement' that he'd railed against on the campaign trail as a job killer. Many analysts figured that US withdrawal spelled doom for the entire agreement.
But on Saturday, the 11 remaining Pacific Rim countries agreed on a way forward - without America. The remaining bloc now have a blueprint to start trading more freely between themselves in a resurrected form of the deal. AT THE EXPENSE OF SOVEREIGN LEGAL RULE OVER THE COMMERCE PROMOTED.
There are still many details for the member countries - which include Mexico, Japan, Australia, and Canada - to work out. But the pact, called the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, looks a little different from when the US was part of the negotiations through the end of Barack Obama's presidency.
About 20 provisions that were once part of the TPP talks have been "suspended," according to a joint statement by the agreement's member countries. And there are still four sticking points - including a commitment on coal that affects Brunei - to solve, but experts say a final deal could be announced as early as next year. Each country would still have to sign and ratify the deal to be a member of the agreement.
