Can somebody explain the significance of this? I'm very familiar with NAFTA but not TPP.

Same, it sounds like it's about intellectual property laws but I really don't get what it means or if canceling it is good or bad.

Of course. But him being elected is why this is happening.

It's a great deal. A free trade deal that equals countries with very cheap labor and lack of workers rights and advanced countries with expensive workers was never a good idea. Obama ****ed up and didn't learn from Bill's mistakes.

Isn't this good for China? It gives them more presence in the Asian/Pacific area.
