Singapore would sign TPP minus the US if there's consensus: PM

Singapore

THE United States may have officially withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), but there is talk that the 11 other countries involved - Singapore included - could still go ahead with the free-trade pact without the world's largest economy.

Singapore would sign on to such a deal, but only if there is a consensus reached among the remaining nations, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in an interview on BBC.
