President Joe Biden launched a new Asia-Pacific trade initiative Monday in Tokyo, with 13 countries including India and Japan signing up, although questions about the pact's effectiveness remain.

The trade agreement Washington and Tokyo plan to negotiate will be a model for the Indo-Pacific region, US Vice-President Mike Pence said at the start of his Asia tour today. Mr Pence, who referred to trade negotiations to be held between the US and Japan in January, met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the first stop of his Asia and Ocean...

Japan and the European Union agreed on Thursday to a free trade pact between two of the world's biggest economies, signalling their opposition to what they see as US President Donald Trump's protectionist turn.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) would be meaningless without U.S. participation, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he would withdraw the United States from the pan-Pacific free trade deal.
