Leaders from Mexico, Canada, Japan and other nations officially signed TPP on Thursday at a ceremony in Santiago, Chile. TPP's revival stands -- and its very nature as a multi-country trade pact -- defies Trump's trade views. In January 2017, Trump withdrew the United States from TPP discussions before it became law, arguing that it was an unfair deal for the country. Some of these countries -- particularly Japan, Mexico and Canada -- may get entangled in a tit-for-tat trade war with the Trump administration. So far, Mexico, Canada and the United States have made little progress after seven months of negotiations.
