Trump weighs rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership amid trade dispute with China.

"President Trump ordered top administration officials Thursday to look at rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major shift on the sprawling multination trade pact he rejected just days after taking office.

Rejoining the pact would come as Trump escalates a trade conflict with China. The Pacific Rim trade deal was intended to counter China’s influence, but Trump criticized the pact as a candidate and pulled the United States out of it in one of his earliest moves as president.

Trump gave the new orders to U.S. Trade Representative Robert E. Lighthizer and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow during a White House meeting with lawmakers and governors, according to several GOP senators in attendance".

Fantastic!!! Flip it, Rip it, Zip it, just rejoin the TPP, if you really want to set China's pants on fire.
Glad to hear it, and if you want to continue with the trade tariffs, go for it, gang buster. China has needed to be "Bitch Slapped" for a very long time now. Glad to hear you are stepping up to the plate with the balls to do it Mr. President.
WTG!
