This was the great irony & missed opportunity of pulling out of TPP. It's how the U.S. could flex muscles in the Asia Pacific &, w/ allies, confront & contain China, which is a bad actor that should be confronted & contained. =>>https://twitter.com/ChrisCuomo/status/982258548276002818 …
and TPP countries don't like being bullied by China either, w/ us in the TPP we would have had influence and they would have felt less at Beijing's whim.

The bigger problem is that Trump is so unpopular internally in our allies, it ties the hands of other governments to do what needs to be done on these big issues.
