UK joins Indo-Pacific trade bloc as first European member DW 12/15/2024

The United Kingdom officially joined the CPTPP, aiming to revitalize its economy post-Brexit with potential earnings of $2.5 billion annually, enhancing global trade opportunities.
The CPTPP, which arose after the U.S. withdrawal from the TPP, lowers trade barriers among its 12 nations, with a focus on economic collaboration and development.
