Australia begins discussing alternatives to TPP www3.nhk.or.jp
Australia has begun working with other nations to study alternatives to the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement without the participation of the United States.
Australian Minister for Trade and Investment Steven Ciobo issued a statement on Sunday following US President Donald Trump's pledge to withdraw the US from the TPP.
Trump announced his decision on his Twitter account on Friday.
Ciobo says Trump's decision is disappointing, though not unexpected. He says his government has begun discussing with its TPP counterparts possible ways to lock in the benefits from the TPP, without the United States.
Ciobo suggested an option of implementing the pact without the US. And he stressed that the Australian government will continue its strong advocacy of the benefits of the TPP.
Ciobo plans to visit the United States soon to seek the Trump administration's understanding of his government's intentions.
