In an attempt to secure its Asia-Pacific status and interests through measures such as the readjustment of its military deployment and the strengthening of political and economic alliance; Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP) has played a major economic role of Rebalance Strategy.
Thomas E. Donilon, a former U.S. national security advisor, pointed out that the core of Rebalance Strategy to the Asia-Pacific is Trans-Pacific Partnership , saying that it is both an economic goal and a strategic goal. It is also believed that it can break through the obstacles of state capitalism, erecting and consolidating the market-opening principles, to promote the development of the economy as a whole.
However, President Trump attributed domestic economic problems to the unfair treatment of trade. He believed that global trade eroded the labor opportunities in the United States. After taking office, the first executive order that Trump officially announced was withdrawal of U.S. from Trans-Pacific Partnership.
TPP11 countries maintained their promotion of Trans-Pacific Partnership. In November 2017, Trans-Pacific Partnership officially changed its name to "Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership"(CPTPP). The plan will take effect as soon as 2018.
A string of events such as Trump''s gradual withdrawal from Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Paris agreement and the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, has caused the Asia-Pacific allies or neutral countries losing confidence in the United States, which may affect its follow-up promotion of the Asia-Pacific strategy.
