Translated from by Madeleine Brink. Edited by Elizabeth Cosgriff.
On Dec. 31, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chili, Malaysia, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam, together totaling 500 million inhabitants, formed the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. These countries represent a global gross domestic product of $10 billion as well as $5 billion in trade. Without making much noise, and without informing the United States’ president of their final decision, these countries have opened trade among themselves, which can be interpreted as a challenge to U.S. protectionism. The trade deal had been in process since February 2016. When the U.S. withdrew, the agreement passed through a moment of crisis, but now it has gone into effect and is open to all who wish to join, including the U.S.



El 31 de diciembre, Australia, Brunei, Canadá, Chile, Malasia, México, Japón, Nueva Zelanda, Perú, Singapur y Vietnam, con sus 500 millones de habitantes, lanzaron el Tratado Integral y Progresista de Asociación Transpacífico (CPTPP), conocido como TPP11. Representan un Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) global de 10 billones de dólares y un intercambio comercial de 5 billones de dólares. Sin mucho ruido, y sin que el presidente de EEUU Donald Trump “lo sepa”, liberalizaron el comercio entre sí, lo que se interpreta como un desafío al proteccionismo de EEUU, que rechazó el pacto. Venía promoviéndose desde febrero de 2016, entró en crisis por esa razón, pero ya está en vigor, abierto a quienes quieran incorporarse, incluso, Estados Unidos.
