The officials have also suggested eliminating a key dispute resolution mechanism

For all the complaining Trumpkins do about other countries cheating on these trade agreements, this is a very weird thing for them to be cheering. Why would the administration seek to make it more likely that someone shirks?

What they should be doing is strengthening the dispute resolution mechanism as much as possible- if they actually care about parties following the agreement. Weakening it is stupid, stupid, stupid if they actually value "fair trade"

Hmm. It's almost as if they want the reduction in international trade that would result from the deal falling apart to actually happen.
