China would accelerate free-trade negotiations with Japan and South Korea, both of which rely on the U.S. for defense, and quickly implement an investment pact reached with the European Union in December. Trump withdrew the U.S. from talks on the trade pact, then known as the TPP, shortly after he took office in January 2021.
