Even if these two hurdles are overcome, experts say that the US must pass TPA by June and the nations must reach agreement by that month as well.
Abstract
April may be the “do or die” month for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement (FTA). Two hurdles come in April, and failure to clear either one could doom TPP to become another Doha Round, i.e., trade negotiations that turn into a gabfest that goes on forever but is never concluded.
