No one praises Trump over this more than China. With TPP gone, they now hold the keys to kingdom (Asian market).
"Trump has single-handedly given away an enormous source of leverage over China. The first rule of negotiating is don't give away something for nothing, and he's done that right off the bat." - Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations
"It will create an opening for China to rewrite the economic rules of the road at the expense of American workers," John McCain.
Hillary, Bernie, Trump all against TPP. Hillary dropped support during the campaign. Now you're trolling Trump. I bet you would support Hillary if she killed it.
China is in process of writing their own trade deal with Asian region, including Japan and Australia.
Can't think of a bigger gift Trump could have handed China.
Agreed. When the state-owned Bank of China is in real estate partnership with the President (borrowed money) what better way to reward China then to give them such a gift. Perception is everything. Just like Trumps' visit to CIA headquarters with his entourage. How many thought those were real agents from the CIA gathered, laughing and clapping him on? Of course it was a staged scene. It would be like attending a grave-site and having a keg party. Senior Officials attending did not clap etc or dare insult the dead on the wall.
China got what China wanted. USA out of that region.

I didn't vote for Hillary, if that is what you meant. So, no, I did not support automatically her policies either.

China is inviting Latin American nations in their new deal, and they would control so much of the worlds economy that the new deal could hurt US big time. It depends how they write it. They have no love for Trump, so they could write it to hurt US.

I'm glad it's gone...reading a lot of different benefits which will occur with its demise, including environmental benefits and protecting against Japanese whaling.
So few supported it other than Obama and McCain. I can't think of a better argument against it.
Two war mongering psychopaths.
So, you think only those two supported it? Lot of Republicans supported it. Now Trump surrendered that market to China and got nothing in return.
