Professor Bacchus Says TPP-11 Will Go Forward

The video discusses the US's relationship with the WTO, highlighting that the US has won most cases it brought to the WTO but lost many brought against it due to non-compliance with trade rules. The US's withdrawal from the TPP is seen as detrimental to its economic and geopolitical interests, as it halts important provisions on intellectual property and labor protection. The video also covers the RCEP, led by China and India, which lacks the additional protections the US sought.
