Digging in to Trump’s trade reality

Economists at the American Farm Bureau estimated that the Trans-Pacific Partnership would have provided American producers over $4 billion annually in increased sales, but Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement. The 11 remaining countries formed a new TPP without the United States. This allowed Canada and Australia to sell wheat and beef to Japan on more favorable terms than the United States. Trump had lost markets for U.S. producers and desperately needed to negotiate an agreement with Japan to fill the hole he had created. However, the U.S.-Japan agreement does not completely cover what the U.S. had gained in the original TPP, and we lost short-term and potentially long-term markets to Canada and Australia during the two years we were negotiating with Japan. Thus Trump was only able to partially fill the hole he had created.
