TPP trade deal could expand agricultural exports

But that doesn’t mean Congress should rush to reject it. “The other 11 countries that will join the U.S.in the TPP sent 46.3 million visitors to the U.S.in 2014, accounting for 62% of all global inbound visitation that year”. It was taken up by the U.S. and pushed forward during the Obama administration as a cornerstone of the “pivot to Asia” policy. The agriculture and water resources minister further said that the negotiation is not the end but the beginning of a new bond between the 12 TPP member countries.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday he personally worked the phones to build support in the closing negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. The White House even says that “This partnership levels the playing field for our farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers by eliminating more than 18,000 taxes that various countries put on our products”.

“In the long run, if the body aims to continue its development, it will surely open its door to China”, Yang said.

That debate will unfurl against the backdrop of a presidential campaign in which populist anti-trade talk against the deal is already prominent. That’s why the United States has sought for decades to reduce the barriers that protect industries around the world against foreign competition.
