Trump to quit TPP on first day in office

United States president elect Donald Trump is making sure some of his campaign policies hit the ground running immediately he takes over as president of the United States come January 20, 2017. Trump who was critical about certain trade U.S deals was unequivocal when he hinted his dislikes for the Trans Pacific Partnership trade in which U.S is a part. The massive trade deal was agreed in 2015 by nations including the US, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico, but has not yet been ratified by the individual countries.

In a video message Tuesday at his Manhattan Trump Tower, the president elect quickly summarized some of his manifesto arrangement on resumption into office, most especially his first hundred days in office as president of the United States.

Trump who outlined certain of his earlier campaigned rhetoric in a 2minutes online video also promised to reduce the proliferation of job cut so as to create a better platform for the middle class Americans. The president elect while announcing his plans in the online released video promised vehemently to correct the excesses of visa abuse program as well as checkmate the U.S entry level of foreigners.

Donald who has been critical about repealing the much talk Obamacare made no mention of repealing Obamacare or building a wall on the southern border with Mexico, two actions he said during the campaign he would do as soon as he assumed power.

He said he would cancel restrictions on US energy production. Last year, President Obama brought in the Clean Power Plan, an anti-climate change measure which aimed to reduce carbon emissions from the power sector by 32% by 2030 compared with 2005 levels. "I will cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy, including shale energy and clean coal, creating many millions of high-paying jobs.

The TPP trade deal was signed by 12 countries which together cover 40% of the world's economy.

In reaction to Trump's position on the TPP, world leaders have continued to trail his argument with mixed feelings as some believed such move could hinder the original concept in which the TPP was meant to serve with the absolute exclusion of the United States.

Political leaders in Asia in particular have reacted strongly. Japan's prime minister said the TPP would be "meaningless" without the involvement of the US; New Zealand's prime minister said the US was "not an island"; and the economist Harumi Taguchi said China could move in to fill the "void" left by the deal's collapse.But Malaysia's prime minister said it was the President-elect's right "to make the policy decisions he thinks right".

Trump also vows to dislodge Washington lobbyist in the long run of his term as president.
