These 12 countries combined account for 40% of world trade and have a combined GDP of $27.4 trillion. Proponents have argued for the benefits of the TPP, some of which include increased access to the Asia-Pacific through the elimination of tariffs and reduction of non-tariff barriers to trade. In the end,\u00c2\u00a0opposition to the TPP won.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, it is worth noting that the United States has already implemented trade agreements with a majority of the other TPP countries. More specifically, the United States has a trade agreement with Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Singapore. Therefore, U.S. companies interested in expanding to the Asia-Pacific region can still take advantage of the opportunities under existing trade agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the same time, Trump has publicly stated that the United States would renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico or withdraw completely.
