Donald Trump vows to quit TPP on first day in office

US President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal 'from day one'.

Trump made the announcement in an online video where he outlined his policy priorities for his first 100 days in office.

This put him in line with Bernie Sanders of all people who called TPP a threat to American democracy. Strangest election ever continues.

maybe that's a good thing. we can get some unfiltered direct news rather than having twisted by the media bias

[khuongnguyen]

A LOT of people are being lied by the media and they always think Trump is wrong at every thing. Not Trump supporter but give him a chance first

[nabeelhasan]

I dont agree with Mr. Trump on a lot of issues but on this, i agree on his position regarding the TPP, its a disaster for everyone, it makes the companies capable of suing governments with the help of comission

Very good progress and smart posting it too, don't give the media a change to play on who said what and why.

Great Trump president !
As a japanese, I hope Trump will not change his decision on TPP.

[foxylady]

It will be interesting to see how he's going to deal with the Middle East

One down on the first day as promised. Go Trump!!!

[crazyforcoffee]

Possibly the only thing I agree with him

[SirPhillyLeong]

The reason why Trump chooses twitter over a press conference?
No reporter questions that will make him look stupid.

"Media, go away with Hillary." said the REAL Donald Trump.

[MetaphorInVain]

It's good to leave TPP, but he is doing it for the wrong reasons. Either way, good thing.

[suminshizzles]

I dont like a lot of things about him but well done on this.

TRUMP TRUMP I USED TO HATE YOU BUT NOW I LOVE YOU

[RJH]

Here's hoping he actually follows though on his promise

[aracelimata]

wow never ever before in US history hav there been so much protest against a president to be .

[aracelimata]

oh and celebrities too. I'm having fun watching all those protest .I thought it only happened in other countries. it's just the beginning .

[MyNameBaboo]

It would be ironic if he were to be a greater president than Obama, although that's not hard.

I'm giving him a chance, but it's the people he surrounds himself with that is worrying.

Thanks Trump for the opportunity ! Go China!!

[MrAlene]

TPP by all means is not good, but Trump's reasons holds no argument and it could backfire.
