Washington D.C., (AP) - Obama has often promoted the Trans-Pacific deal as a way for the U.S. to gain influence in Asian markets and to keep China "from writing the rules of the road." If China were to join the Trans-Pacific partnership, it would have to agree with the standards set by the multi-national agreement.
