Trump Administration Looks to Join TPP

In comments made yesterday to Senators and Governors from major agriculture states, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his National Economic Council Chair Larry Kudlow and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to pursue U.S. membership in the recently completed Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP. This move follows the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement during the first week of the Trump presidency in 2017. The agreement, which was signed in early March, includes market access and regulatory cooperation amongst 11 pacific nations including, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
