Interesting article about the effect of drawing out of the TPP on certain parts of rural america:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/08/07/trump-tpp-deal-withdrawal-trade-effects-215459

(Note, I am overall against the TPP, but yeah, this is a pretty significant downside to drawing out).

As I understand it the US agriculture industry would have won big from the TPP. Trump straight up screwed them.

Reading that article... our trade rep thinks Japan should lower tariffs for free? It sounds like he doesn't understand the basic concept behind an agreement, which is probably not a quality you want in a trade rep.
