"Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the six states with which ASEAN has existing free trade agreements (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand)."

This regional agreement expects to complete this year. IIRC the dollar will be replaced by the Chinese renmimbi as a medium of international trade. If Trump is trying to stop this, then he's too late.

Intellectual property is a touchy subject. I can see where India's "generic" drug ripoffs when exported should follow international norms, but for local consumption it should not be necessary to pay royalties. There is no other way to handle otherwise, drugs which have exorbitant costs in the US. This is a weakness of the TPP - even if there is a effort to mitigate it.
