Quote:The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), also known as TPP11[2][3][4] is a signed, but not-yet ratified, trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. These countries represent 13.4 percent of the global gross domestic product or $13.5 trillion, making this the third largest trade agreement after the North American Free Trade Agreement and European Union.[5]
The CPTPP incorporates most of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) provisions by reference, but suspended 22 provisions the United States favored that other countries opposed, and lowered the threshold for enactment so the participation of the U.S. is not required
It seems they will be happier without the 800 pound gorilla fucking things up.
