Singapore to move toward TPP ratification

Singapore is going forward with ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.  The move is mostly symbolic, since President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the trade agreement, but it signals to other TPP nations that Singapore is still open to it.  The online World Trade News says Singapore’s Prime Minister indicated during a visit to Viet Nam last week that his country is proceeding with ratification.  A Singapore trade official says that ratifying TPP is an effort by Singapore to explore trade agreement possibilities with other TPP members. Singapore is interested in either bilateral deals with TPP member countries or implementing TPP without the U.S.
