TPPA from a USA perspective
It's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks set to continue the same stonewall tactics as before, so she will be too busy to do anything with it for a couple of years. At which time it will be modified and renamed.
So, for anyone feeling withdrawl symptoms comming on, about this possible two year hiatus, there is the TTIP ttip-leaks.org...
