It doesn’t help that the US backed out of a policy solution that would actually be cheap and orders of magnitude more effective than anything that they have cooked up since in the TPP.

Backing out of it also means that the rest of the world is unlikely to trust the US on a similar effort anymore.

I felt like that was a new height in short-term-ism and miss management for the US. Trading a permanent strategic advantage in a contested region for a few shitty jobs that will be gone in 5 years anyway!?
