New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay says trade ministers from TPP countries will meet in the coming months to discuss the future of the agreement. A number of TPP countries had expressed a strong commitment to the agreement, including Japan which has ratified. The way it is currently worded, it could not enter into force without the United States. Here is the wording of the directive (courtesy of Politico):MEMORANDUM FOR THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVESUBJECT: Withdrawal of the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Negotiations and Agreement. Trade with other nations is, and always will be, of paramount importance to my Administration and to me, as President of the United States.
