The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an agreement of unprecedented scope and ambition.

It promises new export opportunities for our farmers, services suppliers and goods exporters. It promises to support the growth of trade in our region, contributing to economic growth and new jobs.

President Trump's decision not to ratify the TPP at this time is disappointing, although not unexpected. The TPP is too important as a driver of the creation of more Australian jobs not to do all we can to see the agreement enter into force.
