The Trans-Pacific Partnership involving twelve nations was Asia policy thrust of immediate-past US President, BARACK OBAMA.
Other actions on his first full week in office at the White House, President TRUMP ordered a ban in funding for international groups involved in the promotion of abortion.
The new US President also placed an embargo on the hiring of some federal workers; just as he held a meeting with corporate executives and warned of border taxes on companies that are involved in outsourcing.
President TRUMP also revisited the controversies trailing his election and blamed illegal ballots for his failure to win the popular vote.
Meanwhile; TRUMP’s nominee for Secretary of State, REX TILLERSON, narrowly scaled screening by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee due to concerns about his business ties to Russia.
Reports say the voting on TILERSON’s nomination was done based on party lines, all eleven Republicans voted in favour while all ten Democrats voted against.
