Trans Pacific Partnership Tpp

Countries in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal have agreed on the core elements to move ahead without the United States, officials said on Saturday, after last-minute resistance from Canada raised new doubts about its survival.

The agreement, seen as a counter to China's rising economic influence, was promoted by Washington and aimed to set trade rules for the 21st century. Although signed in 2015, it has not yet gone into effect.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said he will cancel the historic Paris Climate deal if voted to power as the agreement would cost the United States' economy USD 5.3 trillion and "skyrocket" electricity prices.

US President Barack Obama said on Monday he is "cautiously optimistic" that Congress will pass the Trans Pacific Partnership free trade agreement between the US and Asian countries.

Australia is hopeful of securing a free-trade agreement with India "sometime this year", trade and investment minister said today after the country signed the historic Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement with 11 other nations.

Thousands of Malaysians protested against plans to join the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) today, just days before parliament is due to open a debate on the free trade pact.

In a major political setback to US President Barack Obama, his party's leading presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has opposed the multi-nation Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

A dozen Pacific nations closed in on a sweeping free-trade pact on Sunday in Atlanta but failed to finalize terms on the fifth day of round-the-clock talks, dashing hopes raised by an earlier breakthrough on protections for new biotech drugs.
