Which of the following best describes America's view of TPP?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. The passage states there is "anger at `globalism'" and that "even Americans who were in favour of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) ... have turned against it," showing widespread wariness rather than unequivocal support.

2. The economic gains from TPP are described as small: it would raise American output by "just under a percentage point of GDP," i.e. less than $1\%$, which implies benefits are limited and not clearly decisive.

3. Opposition is said to be "mostly rooted in a mistrust of the elite," and sceptical voters "will be unlikely to change their stripes without some demonstration that pacts of its kind benefit the many rather than just the few," indicating uncertainty about who benefits.

4. Combining these points: public anger, small projected gains ($<1\%$ of GDP), and mistrust of elites all support the conclusion that Americans are wary of the TPP because its benefits are indeterminate and not clearly distributed broadly.
