I'm sure all these countries would do trade deals with the US if the US had a deal-maker leader who ascribed to the philosophy of win-win.

Is it really a win-win though when alot of deals/projects now already languish?

If people think the investor covenant situation in the US is bad, it's that much worse in asia. A lot of money burning pits and lack of fast progress isn't really going to change unless the situation on the ground can actually improve and it wont happen from diktats (TPP, RCEP, etc) from above.

Not saying RCEP or TPP are good deals - just that if all parties tried to construct mutually beneficial deals there’s every reason to expect countries to trade with USA.
