“President Trump said Thursday he would consider re-entering the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement if the terms were more favorable to the U.S.
“I would do TPP if we were able to make a substantially better deal,” Trump told CNBC during an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump called the Pacific Rim trade pact a “horrible deal” as written.
The comments mark the first time Trump has raised the possibility of rejoining the sweeping trade agreement, which was championed by former President Obama.
It's a surprising stance for Trump, who won the 2016 election on a promise to take a more protectionist stance on trade.
Trump railed against the TPP as a candidate and announced the U.S. would pull out of the agreement in one of his first acts as president. At the time, Trump said leaving the TPP is a "great thing for the American worker."
But it’s unclear what, exactly, could entice Trump to re-enter the agreement. The president did not say what specific changes he wants to see made.”
