(Dagbladet): President Donald Trump has made words to action. On Monday evening signed Trump three presidentordre.
The one is all about that he will pull the united STATES out of the handelsavtalen TPP.
In addition, signed a presidentordre that stop the aid to foreign organizations that support abortion. The ban makes it a crime to provide federal aid to international groups that perform abortions or offer information about abortion.
Trump also signed a presidentordre about ansettelsesstopp of public employees. The goal is, according to the NTB to reduce payroll expenses and limit the size of the number of federal employees.
A good thing
Trump has since before the election has been clear that he wants the united STATES out of the handelsavtalen. He has previously called the agreement a “potential disaster for the united STATES”.
After he signed presidentordren in the oval office he said the following:
It is a good thing for american workers, ” said Trump, according to Reuters.
Handelsavtalen TPP, which stands for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, is an agreement between the united STATES, Japan and ten other countries in Asia, America and Oceania. The agreement was completed in the year, but is not yet ratified.
According to the NBC News will Trump also request to renegotiate the north american free trade agreements NAFTA.
- Reduces customs
Arne Melchior, senior research fellow and head of forskningsgruppa of international economics at the Norwegian foreign policy institute (Nupi), describes the agreement as comprehensive and important.
- the Agreement significantly reduces tariffs on exports between the countries. It has a stricter patent rules and set higher requirements for labor standards, ” says Melchior about the main points in the agreement.
Important was the agreement in particular for the avgåtte president Barack Obama was one of the initiators behind the negotiations.
- Some of the United states the objective of the TPP was to ensure american influence in the region, and also design the trading rules that were in line with United states interests, for example, about patent rights, ” says Melchior.
Want to be tough on China
IN the united STATES, the justice department almost turned the alarm about patent thefts. They say that China driver targeted etterretningsaksjoner against virtually all types of businesses in the united STATES. China-copies of US-developed products, will have cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars, writes CBS News.
China is not among the countries TPP agreement includes. The agreement was however considered as an american with the opportunity to curb the ever-growing economic power China possesses. Therefore it is seemingly contradictory that Trump will abandon an agreement that could have been in line with his China policy: Be tougher against asian supermakta.
TPP and NAFTA-agreement between the united STATES, Canada and Mexico were the subject of much criticism during the american election campaign. Of the camp around Donald Trump was such agreements are characterized as harmful to the average american worker, and portrayed as svinalängorna of globalization.
But Trump has also been under pressure from the business community who want the TPP. The agreement is beneficial for u.s. exports, for example, for u.s. agriculture. There are therefore some opportunities will be lost for the united STATES in respect of export and trade, then this has a tangible economic consequence for the americans, ” says senior researcher Melchior.
- “Senseless” without the united STATES
What happens with the agreement without united STATES, is difficult to predict. Since it has not yet entered into force, it is also difficult to point to what kind of effect you want to lose. Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has, however, advocated that the TPP agreement would be “meaningless” without the united STATES.
the Agreement is now a structure that is less tempting to join in when the united STATES pulls out. It was the main market, the main forcing agent and was central in the negotiations, says seniorforskeren.
Looking away from the potential impact, think Nupi-researcher no matter that Donald Trump’s decision is a betrayal of trust by the United states.
- The type of lack of respect for agreements it is laid down considerable efforts to negotiate, it undermines America’s credibility and reputation, ” he says.
