Trump's Card
TPP is good in a high level strategy way in that it binds all the countries in with America, and should increase trade between them and be a brake on China, which has to operate by less favourable WTO terms and has issues with its standards. I'm sure there are bits that can be usefully lost though.
Trump will be pissing off Australia and New Zealand right off. Interesting contrast with our Brit Nationalists who see Aus-NZ as key partners in the "Anglosphere". The US seem to be bailing out of the Anglosphere, just as we're bailing out of the EU.
Who have we got to join the dots? Nick Clegg?
