    THE American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (AmCham Singapore) has called on the United States to join the trade pact which has replaced the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), from which the US withdrew in January 2017.

    In a statement on Tuesday, AmCham Singapore urged the US to join the TPP's replacement, the Comprehensive Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), to ensure US competitiveness in Asia. It also urged the US Congress to approve the agreement.
