Excellent @CatoInstitute summary of ‘crumbling’ Obama trade agenda. Does lowball AU-#FTA#FTA reflect the same calcul#TPP#TPP going nowhere?

The AU-JPN #FTA looks like a template to the two high-farm-protection #TPP members. This can’t be good::http://t.co/WQL4Itonkd

FDI ‘review’ powers are wrong in so many ways. AU is ruled by laws, open tribunals, not scandal & ministerial favour::http://t.co/iRsIfWaYja

This @rodrikdani argument overvalues the counterfactual. Consider the welfare, growth costs of autarky for the poor ::http://t.co/GdHIJpoFUF

The AU-JPN #FTA still looks poorly timed. Was Robb talking to Froman about #TPP strategy? Did JPN sucker-punch us? reut.rs/1jReax4

There cd. hardly be a worse time to do a “better than nothing” deal with JPN. @WSJ editorial is close to the mark::http://t.co/rualUOTIpF

How is AU-JPN FTA a big deal? Few details on services. Ag. deal is modest. FDI threshold low. Preferences ephemeral::https://t.co/9Tm4I2SiVk
