I think on that I'd say the main message we delivered to the U.S.—and our Prime Minister was in the U.S. doing exactly this last month—was emphasizing to the U.S. audience that not ratifying the TPP would be a huge missed opportunity for the U.S., and not just for its consumers and its businesses. I think the point he was really stressing was that it would be a huge missed opportunity for the geopolitics of the region and the U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific.
