The Biden administration might look to rejoin the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The CPTPP, formerly the Trans-Pacific Partnership, is a trade pact made up of 11 countries including Japan, Canada and Mexico.
The head of the University of Missouri’s Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, Pat Westhoff, tells Brownfield rejoining the CPTPP offers few positives and negatives for U.S. agriculture.
“We do have agreements with some of these countries but not with all of them so there will be a few countries for which there might be some gains,” he said.
