The Big Picture

Donald Trump has presented his plans for the first 100 days in office. The announcement was done by video, this type of announcement differs greatly to his predecessors, who preferred to give press conferences. Even in such details, Trump wants to show that he is ”different“. His first executive order will be to exit the TTP trade agreement. This agreement was one president
Obama´s most important projects. The planned free trade zone was to include The USA, Japan, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam, together amounting to 40% of worldwide economic activity. This agreement was also thought to be a defense against China. Trump´s video however misses any mention of his election pledge to build a wall to Mexico or to change Obamacare.
