US creates new framework without China - IPEF - Trending World News
TOKYO, April 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said on Tuesday the Biden administration's signature Asian engagement project called the IPEF is designed to create no conflict with other trade agreements in the region, where China is expanding its clout.
The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), which U.S. President Joe Biden launched last May, is aimed at countering China's efforts to expand its economic influence in the region.
Countries in the IPEF talks include Australia, Brunei, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Together with the U.S., the participants represent some 40% of global GDP.
The region already has several free-trade agreements including the China-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which groups 15 Asia-Pacific economies including Australia and Japan.
"The unifying theme in the IPEF engagements go to economic issue areas and topics, where by collaboration, the United States and these partners in the Indo-Pacific can promote more resilient, more sustainable and more inclusive economies," Tai told an online news conference.
