Trump TTIPGETTY

Donald Trump has withdrawn the USA from the TTP agreement

In an Oval Office ceremony, Mr Trump called the order a "great thing for the American worker."
The move will now raise fears in Brussels the TTIP deal, promoting cross-Atlantic trade with the EU, could also be under threat.

The TPP agreement was a huge part of former president Barack Obama’s eight-year term, with the long-negotiated deal covering 40 per cent of the world economy.

The deal, which Mr Trump previously criticised as a “potential disaster for our country”, was signed by 12 countries, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico.

It aimed to reduce tariffs for cross-country trade and was considered an economic miracle due to the vastly differing countries involved.

The USA's withdrawal will be a massive blow to those involved and to the future of international trade.
