Loading ...Its a late start, hopefully not too little too late. Read it yourselves. We dropped our tariffs starting gradually 50 years ago. But our exports were still tariffed. To create higher living standards developing nations. Now its the worlds turn to drop tariffs on us.
The USA. “If I show you mine, will you show me yours afterward?”
Trans-Pacific Partnership: Summary of U.S. Objectives
part:
With the elimination of TPP countries’ tariffs on manufactured products, including innovative and high technology products, such as industrial and electrical machinery, precision and scientific instruments, and chemicals and plastics, U.S. products will compete on a more level playing field with goods from TPP countries’ other free trade agreement (FTA) partners – including China, India, and the EU.
As just one example, certain U.S. auto parts currently face a 27-percent tariff entering Vietnam. Other countries that have an FTA with Vietnam, such as China, Thailand, and Indonesia, export their auto parts to Vietnam duty free. By eliminating duties U.S. auto parts companies face, TPP would help boost their competitiveness in the Vietnamese market.

Part: “ENVIRONMENT
Environmental stewardship is a core value and advancing environmental protection and conservation efforts across the Asia-Pacific region is a key priority for the United States in TPP. In addition to core environment obligations, we are seeking trailblazing, first-ever conservation proposals to address some of the region’s most urgent environmental challenges.
