Vernon Small: Key flies from a disaster at home to an Apec meeting in crisis over Trump's trade plansCARLO ALLEGRI President-elect Donald Trump has pointed the finger at China and poor free trade deals for undermining US businesses and jobs. ALDEN WILLIAMS/FAIRFAX NZ Prime Minister John Key speaks to members of the Kaikoura business community on Wednesday. But when Key flies out on Friday he will be heading towards a crisis of a very different sort. Apec will also offer Key and McClay an opportunity to push anew for an upgrade to the free trade agreement with China. Apec itself is not a negotiating vehicle for TPP or any other free trade deal.
