London/Brussels/Singapore | Donald Trump’s return to the White House is reviving a stalled plan to forge a strategic partnership between the EU and a key Indo-Pacific trade bloc, according to EU officials and senior diplomats.
Plans to build stronger links between Brussels and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership – a group of 12 countries that includes Canada, Japan and Mexico – have gained momentum following Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs announcement in April.
