Art of the Deal.
They said...ok, the US doesn't want to play, we'll do it without him. But I think they're getting no where.
Actually they're moving ahead with it. The remaining 11 countries agreed on a new framework, which basically was the same as the original but which suspends 20 or so provisions that the U.S. had wanted, this past January. There are about seven additional countries which have expressed an interest in joining. Tariffs within the TPP countries are being adjusted. Life is going on.
As far as the U.S. rejoining TPP, I think that ship has sailed.
