FDI Perspective No. 252: “Will the United States join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or neither?,” by Adam Douglas

This Perspective examines the conditions under which the US could re-join TPP or join CPTPP. The author notes that ratification is unlikely in the near future while observing that the US could seek to re-enter negotiations to access potential trade benefits, give effect to its investment provisions and secure influence in the Pacific Rim.
