United States' ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal does not seem likely following the United States' Presidential Election of 2016. President-Elect Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership once in office[1]. According to the President-Elect, Trans-Pacific Partnership would cost American workers their jobs by "[undermining] our economy...[and undermining] our independence"[2]. Since the 2016 Election also led to a Republican majority in Congress, it has been reported that "Republicans have little incentive to bring the TPP to a vote, since Mr. Trump could easily threaten to unravel the deal when he takes office and block its implementation, as well as punish lawmakers who vote for it"[3]. "Congress. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said flat-out 'no'" when asked if the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal "would be considered in the [current] lame-duck Congress"[4].
