that also is the fear with tpp
the gop would have to switch from being pro tpp to anti tpp but flip flops are standard for them
nafta will come back to haunt hrc because of this

(24,692 posts)3. "TPP = EU in many ways." Interesting. TPP does not provide freedom of movement like the EU but
it does have labor and environmental standards linked to trade like the EU (though not as strong as the EU enforces).
And both do supersede national sovereignty to some extent. The EU raises standards above what many national governments might otherwise provide (certainly in the case of the U.K.). The question is to what extent TPP would do the same.

(17,377 posts)5. After Britain concludes its post Brexit agreement with the EU, I wouldn't be surprised if they join
TPP. We'll see, it will be interesting...the world is a lot different today.
