Could Trump kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership and start a trade war?
Trump’s presidency could have disastrous effects on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and potentially start a trade war between China, the US and Australia.

The TPP was set to deliver valuable markets for Australia’s wheat, beef and dairy. So could a trade war be closer than we think? We were joined by Professor Martin Richardson, from the ANU Research School of Economics to find out more.
