Eric Shimp, policy advisor in the firm’s International Trade & Regulatory Group, was quoted in Reuters in an article titled “Japan, U.S. Tiptoe into New Phase of Pacific Trade Talks.”
The article discussed how the United States and Japan are now edging into a new phase of the trade negotiations after President Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s summit and how the two countries identified a “path forward” on key issues and how the United States and Japan don’t want to take this burden alone.
"It's going to take all 12 countries, not two, in order for TPP to cross the finish line," Shimp said.
