Japan Ratifies Pacific Trade Pact That Donald Trump Plans To Dump

(TOKYO) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won parliamentary approval Friday for ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, despite U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw from the 12-nation trade pact. Upper house lawmakers approved the TPP on Friday, heeding Abe’s calls to push ahead with it despite Trump’s rejection of the free-trade initiative championed by President Barack Obama. Abe’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party has an ample majority in both houses of parliament.
