Mnuchin Floats Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership, Trade Deal Trump Shelved
By ALAN RAPPEPORTFEB. 27, 2018
WASHINGTON — More than a year after President Trump abruptly pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, saying it was a bad deal for the United States, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Tuesday that the United States is discussing rejoining the multilateral trade agreement.
Mr. Mnuchin, speaking at an investment summit meeting sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that renegotiating the trade agreement was “on the table” and that he had been in talks with other countries about what it would take for the United States to reverse course.

Even if Mr. Trump is serious about trying to renegotiate the deal, doing so would be difficult at this point. The remaining 11 countries spent months renegotiating a pact and finally agreed to a sweeping multinational deal this year.
President Michelle Bachelet of Chile told the Nikkei newspaper this week that the United States would be welcome to return to the deal but that it would have to accept the terms of the agreement that the 11 other nations expect to ratify.

I'm tired of winning.
