In a YouTube video message to the nation Monday, President-elect Donald Trump outlined a list of executive actions he intends to make “on day one” of his administration and number one on that list is to get out of the TPP.
“I am going to issue our notification of intend to withdraw from the Trans Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country,” said Trump. “Instead, we will negotiate fair, bi-lateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back on to American shores.”
The president-elect also pledged to “cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy,” require that for every new regulation two old regulations must be eliminated, and have the labor department investigate “abuses of visa programs that undercut the American worker.”
