Brexit Drowning in the Pacific?

Apr 5, 2023 | In this new Federal Trust video, Brendan Donnelly and John Stevens review the British decision to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership or CPTPP.

Its importance is being overstated by the British government simply as a distraction from the unfolding difficulties of Brexit.
